I am a Maggid: a Jewish inspirational speaker who
uses stories, parables and sermons to bring people closer to the joy and passion of Judaism.
A musmach of Maggid Yitzhak Buxbaum's,
I travel around the country in the tradition of itinerant maggidim of centuries past, offering a
variety of programs for groups, synagogues and communities.
I also teach classes and mentor students remotely, via phone, Internet,
and occasional face-to-face meetings. I specialize in storytelling, midrash, and text study.
Classes beginning in mid-July:
"Foundations of Judaism"
"Swimming in the Sea of Torah"
Contact
me to find out the particulars of curriculum, times and fees.
Some might call me "the Maggid formerly known as Jim:" I have adopted the first part of my Hebrew name,
Uriel, as my "official" name when functioning as a Maggid.
