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.

Whoa, you've been doing this since 2004? (I like that idea, starting at the beginning). I'll take a look.
Perhaps I was a bit unclear--when I said, "start at the beginning," I was referring to the first post on the "My Shrapnel" blog. But thanks. I'm always happy to have people check out any of my posts, however "ancient" :) .
