A little non-crisis post: Here’s one of the last posts that Drew Kaplan published before closing up shop
Best of luck, Drew, be it in rabbinical school, in your future congregations, and/or in life in general.
A tallit-and-tefillin-wearing woman in a traditional Conservative synagogue?! An unorthodox—and non-orthodox—perspective on Jews and Judaism from a perpetual misfit. This blog, welcoming the entire Jewish community, is dedicated to those who take Judaism seriously, but not necessarily literally.

Once upon a time, I belonged to a left-wing egalitarian Conservative synagogue, where I was one of a number of women who wore a tallit—and one of the few members who used an Orthodox prayer book (adding the Mothers, of course). Having moved since then, I now belong to a right-wing traditional Conservative synagogue, where I’m almost always the only woman wearing a tallit—and one of the few members who adds the Mothers. I seem destined to be forever . . . on the fringe.

I highly reccomend reading the article in Azure(its free). It is totally awesome. I wrote more about it a few minutes ago, but the comment go swallowed and I dont have time to re write it. But go to the Azure web site and read it, by Ethan Dor-Shav(his other article on the soul in Tanach is also amazing.
Dilbert, thanks for the encouragement. I'll try to sneak in the time to read the whole the article.
Thank you, Shira.
You've welcome. I think you and Dilbert will both be happy to know that I printed out that Ethan Dor-Shav article on Friday afternoon and read the whole thing on Erev Shabbat. It was fascinating, and well worth reading. Last I saw, the print-out had vanished into my husband's "reading pile."
