Welcome to the thoughts and reflections of a Liberal Rabbi: Pete Tobias

Welcome to my website! Thanks for visiting. This website will give you the opportunity to find out something about what Liberal Judaism is, about the life of a Liberal Rabbi and what’s happening at The Liberal Synagogue Elstree. You can keep track of my radio broadcasts (and even listen to some of them!) read some of my sermons and other works and get updates about my publications.

As an example, click here for the text of my broadcast on the Chris Evans show in January 2010 for Holocaust Memorial Day.

 
This new children's book is due out in March 2012! The Passover Seder is a special occasion in the life of a Jewish family.  It's a ritual meal that includes many synbols, designed to arouse the interest of children and encourage them to ask questions.  But what happens if you can't actually see those symbols?  'The Question of the Hidden Matzah' tells the story of how a young blind girl deals with her frustrations at not being able to participate fully in this celebratory meal, and how she finds a mysterious piece of matzah that has a unique way of explaining the significance of the Passover Seder to her and her family.  The family Seder will never be the same again - and after reading this book, perhaps your family Seder  will also find a new dimension! 
 
Copies can be ordered by e-mailing the author at rabbi@rabbipete.co.uk - full details of costs etc available soon.
 
 
You can find details of other recent writing projects by clicking here.  The major achievement of my recent sabbatical was the completion of Liberal Judaism’s new Haggadah, which I co-edited with Rabbi Dr Andrew Goldstein, and which Tammy Kustow designed.  The details of Haggadah b’Chol Dor va-Dor can be found here.

 

Take a look at this as well – an interesting glimpse into some aspects of the rabbi’s life!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXNb5FR2YS0
