a belated "Gut Yontif" for Pesach!
Miss Scarlet, i find reprehensible that you are not welcome now by that synagogue! when i was rabbi, my shul knew i was lesbian and very much out/proud BEFORE they invited me to be rabbi! and this was at a small mixed shul in a small southern town, yet! i married, buried, taught religious school (with children of all ages), did bar/bas mitvahs, and made no bones about the fact i was both orthodox and queer. my big adoptive mishpochah there had no problems with it-lol, they even tried to find me "a nice jewish girl", as i was single at the time. (of course, they still wanted grandchildren from me-go figure!) i kept in touch w/every one of them until the last one died. i was very lucky and had many bubbes and zaydes. this was very nice, as my own biological family threw me out after my father died.
the community seders i presided over at the shul were ecumenical-anyone was welcome (who might not be elijah, nu?)-and included traditions from jewish communities from all over the world and all spans of time. i liked to do research and find new and interesting ways to do the seder every year. afer the initial shock of the first seder, the entire shul got into it. we always had great and varied foods! always kosher, of course! as a single Taoist/Buddhist roshi, no seders for me right now, but i would love to attend one again, given the chance. i'd bring my famous beloved sweet lokshen kugel, only now made w/soy milk or almond milk. again, Gut Yontif, and isn't it time to start counting the omer? namaste and shalom, DamselFly |
L'Shanah Tovah!
It's Erev Rosh Ha'shanah! Wishing everyone here a sweet New Year. I will go to services in the morning and then to a creek for Tashlich. That is my favorite New Year ritual.

Happy New Year to all my jewish friends :)

Chag Sameach to all! I am celebrating liberation of all kinds tonight. I will miss cupcakes. I am going to a Seder of my best friend who is a rabbi and a fantastic cook. I always learn something new at her table. Here's to rebirth!

May Everyone have a happy, healthy, and Prosperous New Year... as Yom Kippur is the HIGHEST of All the Jewish Holidays... it is a day of introspection.. and of fasting... i usually take this day off... alas, i cannot afford to this year... hopefully next year i am able. i do know i will not be spending any money on tuesday eve. 9/25, OR wed. 9/26 until sundown. ~namaste' |
