Publications
Rabbi Weiner is the author of Good God: Faith for the Rest of Us a book that works to get past the dangerous polarization between fanatical faith and soulless secularism, which pollsters love and most of us reject. Most people are "the rest of us" and this book speaks to that great middle which refuses to be pushed to either extreme.
