A healthy competition

Word gets around. Another old friend of ours, hearing of our recent adventures in Orthodox territory, was upset at the thought that I might be giving up my egalitarian approach of over thirty years when there's a traditional egalitarian Conservative synagogue and an independent egalitarian minyan in the same neighborhood. She has connections to the minyan, and offered to get us an invitation for home hospitality. As it happens, we have connections to the Conservative synagogue, and will try to get a home-hospitality invitation through them. We hope to have those options checked out by the end of next summer. Hmm, wonder whether we could swing a home-hospitality invitation to the other Modern Orthodox synagogue there, too. Stay tuned. As they say in baseball, it ain't over 'til it's over. :)
