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.
Today's high temperature in New York City was 82 degrees Fahrenheit (27.7778 Celcius). I can't remember ever having experienced an 82-degree day in NYC on October 31. I honestly can't understand how anyone can doubt that global climate change is real.

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.

ah, yes, your anecdote must make it so. Even though climate scientists consistently point out that "weather isn't climate." So no, I'm not taking your anecdote as proof positive that anthropogenic climate change (as opposed to natural variation) is real.
Well, that's what we got for not electing Al Gore back in 2000, unfortunately!
