Sad news: Steg's father has passed away
Steg posted the sad news here, and Mark/PT was kind enough to post further details. Condolence wishes via personal contact, e-mail, or comment to Steg's post would be much appreciated.
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 for spreading the news
"Kol Yisrael areivim zeh la-zeh, All Jews are responsible for one another." It was the least I could do.
HaMakom y'nacheim etchem b'toch sh'ar aveilei Tzion vi-Y'rushalayim, May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
