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.

No such luck, Wolf. Not only did Blogspot.com delete my post instead of publishing it, it "ate" the draft, too, leaving nothing but the title. I'll be publising a reconstructed version shortly.
Apparently, if you get a "Service Unavailable
Error 503" message after clicking on the "Publish" button, you may end up kissing your post goodbye. :(
