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 adore cannolis!
I even have cannoli tubes to make them.
I went on a quest to get Canolis for my wife's birthday, and got very excited when I found them in a store... alas, not kosher certified... lucky you!
Anon., you're much more ambitious in the kitchen--I can barely boil water. I may try just making the filling--ricotta cheese, sugar or honey, chocolate chips, mix 'em up, and right to the table in a bowl. :)
Miami Al, better luck next time.
