Yes, Virginia, there *are* nice New Yorkers--such as the guy who returned my lost wallet
And he had to look up my phone number first and call my husband to arrange a get-together, too.
For once, I'm speechless.
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.

That is good news, but it's still good that you cancelled your credit cards.
Let's just say that I'll be raiding my husband's wallet a lot for the next few days until my new debit card comes in.
Good for him. Especially, considering that it would have been illegal to do anything other than that! : )
Irina, I'm not sure that something being illegal would necessarily have stopped a person who was so inclined.
