I'm closer to being packed...

As the days roll on, one of the best things that keeps coming up with sharing my story with soon-to-be Jews. I have three friends who will go to mikvah while I'm in Israel. I am so excited for them. I am excited for them, they way t

While I won't actually BE in Israel until Friday, all I can think right now is, "I'm going to Israel on Thursday!" You have to sing song it in your head like a seven year old going to Disney World. "I'm going to Israel on T

One of the secret codes of Jews By Choice is our name in Hebrew. While others are the son or daughter of their birth mother and father, we are the sons and daughters of Sarah and Abraham. When I'm at shul and people are being called to To

Today I had a couple great emails and opportunities. I've been spending a lot of time this week praying and thinking good intentions about my manuscript. I think it is a valuble story and that I'm a valuble writer for the Reform movement.

Ack!
The Union for Reform Judaism ate my book.
Okay, the Union didn't eat my book, but the server keeps snacking on my book proposal. Come on Server Gods, let my book proposal through.
Pretty please. This is messing with my plan

I want to share a beautiful thing that happened this morning. While I could choose to be creeped out by it, I am choosing to feel blessed by it instead. I might have mentioned that I picked up The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer on Sunda

Done complaining, now it is time to be excited.

Okay. I took fifteen minutes and complained, fretted, vented about my trip and am now ready to be excited. You know when you walk into a room and your the only stranger? That was how I felt walking into tonight's meeting about Israe

I just got home from a late dinner at Leona's with Ronnie. We looked at the map of Israel and tried to decide what I might do. Or he gave me options, I wrote them down wrong, and we decided that I still have no idea what I'll do those thr

Keith has been set up on a date with a princess. The family invites her to dinner on Friday night. The family dresses up and she comes dressed down.
She says, "I didn't dress, I'm so sorry."

A question for the Orthodox about the Silent Amidah
Monday, 20 February 2006 8:08 P GMT-06
Okay, I have an honest question for any Orthodox or Traditional Jews that might stop by here. In the reform movement, the amidah is not always silent. It depends on the minhag of the congregation, but in mine we say it aloud.

Perhaps inspired by my dream of being in a New York Diner, this morning I went to the Little Corner Restaurant. My neighborhood greek diner that is now non-smoking and still only open until 4PM. I ripped out page after page from my notebo

I had a vivid dream this morning about my trip. Not the Israel side of the trip, but the half day in New York. I land early in the morning and got an early evening flight so I could eat some New York food with some bloggers and friends.&n

On Monday, the orthodox shul down the street was vandalized. Swastikas were painted on the windows, death to jews, heil hitler and other lovely sentiments in red and maybe blue spraypaint. On windows and in the sukkah. Sad, very sad

So I was obsessing over my referral report the other day and noticed that someone had Googled Ronnie and wound up here. My day after (or night of) recounting of running into Ronnie after I returned from London in 2004. It got me to thinki
Did I mention that I'm going to Israel?
Saturday, 18 February 2006 1:57 P GMT-06
So this Israel trip is really sneaking up on me and apparently I should be broadcasting my trip a little more. It seems to me like I told people, but lately when I mention to people I'm going--they are shocked. So, in case you didn't know
