Elie discusses "Coerced Cooperation"
Sunday, May 13, 2007 update:
On the other hand, see my comment (to Elie's post) about JTS Talmud Professor Rabbi Judith Hauptman's conclusion.
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.

RaggedyMom, I just read your invitation 30 seconds ago--I was busy posting a comment to Elie's post when you posted! Eek! Where are you? Can we get there by public transit? Or should we fahgetaboutit and just take a cab? Please RSVP ASAP!
