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.

sorry this is totally unrelated to talmud torah or purim, but where is this RW traditional cons. synagogue of yours?
Sorry, but it was partly to complain about my synagogue that I started this blog. I cannot continue to blog if my anonymity is breached. And I cannot maintain my anonymity if I divulge any further information about my synagogue than I've already divulged.
