The "UOJ" Blog is a tribute to Chezi Goldberg z"l, he devoted his life to helping people in need. Aristotle - "No great genius ever existed without some touch of madness". Raised in, and a scion of an aristocratic, distinguished and prominent Orthodox Jewish family, I was privileged to get a superior education and received a unique Smicha - a high level multi-faceted rabbinical ordination (the real kind) the old fashioned way - I earned it. I graduated at one of the respected institutions of higher learning with honors. Most importantly, I observed everything...and discovered truths that were heartrending and destructive. The critiques are in no way to be construed as critical of Judaism. My intent is to expose the practices and the conflicts that have so denigrated our religion; hopefully leading to a drastic change in the way we select our "leaders".
"Every noble work is at first impossible" - Thomas Carlyle. "The driving passion that has overwhelmingly governed my life, is the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind - caused by people for their own personal gain, regardless of how severe the pain - intentionally and maliciously inflicted on innocent others" - UOJ Memoirs.
