Cross posted from http://sotah.net/I dance at Jewish Orthodox weddings. I  put on my flats, I  kick up my heels,  I shake my hips. I dance from the first dance to the last.  I dance with joy – in the women’s section of the dance floor. I dance, celebrating patriarchal marriage, the silent veiled bride in a long-sleeved white gown.  Read more >

Cross-posted from http://sotah.net/ As I near Christmas, I am reminded of attending of Jewish elementary School where Christmas was not a day off. There were no school buses, so our parents drove us to school instead. At NCSY, an orthodox Jewish youth group, we read Permission to Receive, which outlined why Judaism is the only credible religion and everyone else's narrative is utterly unbelievable. Even after shedding layers of my education, this layer is left behind.  Read more >

I am no fan of modesty. In the name of full disclosure, I used to be seriously “modest.”  For several years in high school and college I covered by elbows, knees and cleavage.  I swam in the Dead Sea in a black t-shirt and skirt. I wore tank tops backwards, to take advantage of the high neckline, which was actually intended as the back of the shirt. I wore old navy long sleeve t-shirts year round, with another short sleeved t-shirt over it for the fashion. As an Orthodox Jew, I dressed more modestly than the Duggers.  Read more >

About Me: 

 

I am a young lawyer and a mom to a baby girl
I have three wishes: 
1. Write a book, a short story, write something. My writing like my knitting projects are all unfinished. 
2. Talk to God - aka have a profound revelatory spiritual experience, where I will know myself in the presence of the Divine.
3. Heal from the c-section birth of my baby - and have another baby someday, and  a birth of wonder and awesomeness, a healing birth whatever corporal form it will take.
