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.

Congratulations :-)
I got my first shot a week and a half ago, 2nd shot in 3 weeks. Had a semi-strong reaction to the 1st, so I'm nervous that the 2nd will be even worse (which it is, by all accounts).
David, I was exhausted the next day, and my shoulder still hurts, but I got lucky. I hope you get lucky, too.
