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.
See this guest post by Jeff Goldberg on DovBear’s blog protesting that the Israeli national (and/or local) government(s) should grow up and provide firefighting equipment out of government funds. He wants to know why foreign charity donors are being asked to buy fire trucks. I think he makes a good case. Maybe I’ll stick to helping fund the replacement of those burned trees.

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.
