Tonight, however, I will begin by sharing the title of this talk with you so that you have some sense of what to expect. My talk tonight in entitled Crab Boat Wisdom. I am a fan of the Discovery Channel show Deadliest Catch. It’s a show about some of the boats that fish for crab on the Bering Sea. This job is considered one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. The show is a peek into a world that most of us never get to see, and I find it riveting. I know all the boats, all the captains, and many of the crew members.

I was happy to see that the season began with him, Captain Phil Harris, in the wheelhouse of his © Rabbi Benjamin Sendrow 2010. All rights reserved.
