Rabbi Josh Warshawsky and Coleen Dieker in concert, recorded live
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.
Here's a treat, if you happen to have about an hour and a half to spare--it's a live recording of the Rabbi Josh Warshawsky and Coleen Dieker concert at Ahavath Achim Synagogue in Atlanta last Saturday night! They have quite a "house band" there--it includes the soon-to-be-wed Rabbi Sam Blustin and Allison Goldperson, and frequent Shabbat-services co-leader Melissa Geneviève Baden (on the far left, on hand-drum). The concert starts at about the 6-minute mark. Enjoy!

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.
