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.

since you are officially retired, does that mean you have the time to blog more often? inquiring minds want to know...
Sorry for the delayed reply.
I must admit that, now that I've been blogging for over 15 years, I find it more challenging to write something new. Also, some issues seem rather irrelevant in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. But I have a post in mind.
