This blog which shares the personal thoughts and journey of an Australian Jewish man is part of the bridge building work of TFH and is written for readers of many faiths and none. It often references the Sidra, the weekly Torah reading.

About Me

My photo
Rabbi Zalman Kastel AM
I am active in educational efforts to counter prejudice, particularly when linked to religion. My role is the Dean and Founder of Together For Humanity Foundation. I am also a Rabbi, teaching Torah to adults on Saturdays, occasionally conducting weddings and funerals and I am involved in other aspects of religious leadership. I was ordained with Semicha from the Lubavitch Yeshiva (770) in New York, studied Torah in London, Brooklyn and Sydney. I completed a graduate Diploma in Education at the University of New England. I've been blogging since 2011.
