Conclusion
Rabbi Brian Mayer, a modern-day rabbi with John Lennon’s inclusivity and a Blues Brothers mission. He full-timed at a congregation for close to four years he transitioned back to school, picking up another master’s degree – this one in education – and teaching inner-city kids mathematics, life, and love. After moving to Portland, where he taught at De La Salle North Catholic, his calling urged him to serve an even more needy community – intelligent rational folk who struggle some with spiritual fitness. He does so through his work with the not for profit Religion Outside The Box writing and speaking. He lives in Portland, OR with his family.
