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.
We're still singing the Unetanetokef prayer.
"Who will live and who will die . . . who by fire, who by water, who by the sword . . . "
In Israel, folks are dying by the sword.
In the southeastern United States, people died (and many others are still suffering) due to hurricanes.
In California, people are dying (or losing their homes or businesses or houses of worship) due to wildfires.
How long?

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.
