A fellow "square peg": Psychotoddler guest-posts on being an MO in a black-hat world
Mark, you get the honor: Assuming that I haven't messed up the automatic numbering in my Word archives again, this is my 500th post.
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.

Thanks.
I wish I could publish another "best posts of the year" round-up, as I did on my first "blogiversary," but it would take me *forever* to write another one now, at least partly because I think I blog more often than I did when I first started.
