"It's all about the wrestling," Rabbi Jack Paskoff tells me, as we rattle up 95 North on our way home from Washington DC. He drives like a New Yorker: aggressive and confident with an air of 'I got this.' It's sort of the same way he serves his community–out front and fearless while also remaining honest and deeply contemplative. He's "my" rabbi because he's got a huge heart, an indefatigable work ethic, and a genuine interest in what others have to say. In these past few years of his life and career, he's also found that opening his eyes to ways of thinking that were once anathema has now pretty much become the norm. He's "staying on the mat" as the wrestling lingo has it.
