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.

Holiday posts, Fall 5773/2012, thus far
Holiday special (Friday, September 14, 2012) Quick, and, I hope, helpful post, with best wishes for a Shanah Tovah u'M'tukah, a Good and Sweet Year.
Here we go again :( (Sunday, September 23, 2012) More "fun" with the not-entirely-trained cantor chosen by our president (acting alone) for the holidays.
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.
