Thanks Miriam for a beautiful post! May we be so lucky to see Jerusalem change and grow just as it's so awesome to see you grow as a future Rabbi!

Very powerful, thoughtprovoking, as is your post on the RJ.org site about Yom Haatzmaut. I look forward to following your regular posts, and then to welcome you and your classmates to Los Angeles (I'm a stone's throw away). Enjoy Israel...

This was funnier the first time I read it and thought that they were implying that when in Eilat or Florida, tzniut does not apply. But maybe that's not what they meant.

n the Bible it is said that one should insert a blue thread into each corner of the silk tallit. This particular blue is known as Techailis and can only be obtained from an animal known as the Chilazon.

I really like that interpretation of the verse from Birkat Hamazon. It's always bothered me, but it's a good way to look at it. Can't wait to SEE you very soon!

Also, my vote is for Tikunei Leil Shavuot as the plural, but I wouldn't place any money on that.

Yeah, I find it totally weird that I have to get immunized to go to rabbinical school... in Newton. Oh, the horrible yuppie diseases I could contract if I'm not careful.

Miss you, and wish I could be frolicking in the Israeli spring with you.

One day walking around gan hapaamon in my cargo shorts, tshirt, and baseball cap, I got "ben o bat?" from someone who looked to be 30 yrs old. Some questions are easier to answer than others....

2010-01-15T21:47:25.842+02:00

I remember being so acutely aware while in Israel of the importance of saying "mashiv haruach umorid hagashem." I have been thinking a lot about prayer and our personal bakashot. It's important to make requests of God I think. But it's just as important to do our part of Tikkun Olam to help people and communities in need. Because when we reach other to help others, I become more acutely aware of God's miracles.

Insightful and interesting!

Sounds like the beginning of a great d'var torah on work/life balance and/or the understated role of women and the important parts they play in these stories.

I have been on a lot of plane rides this year (because of my pulpit) and I have horrible baby karma. There is ALWAYS a crying baby. Well, most recently I was on a trip going to Las Vegas and I sit down and of course a young mother and her infant sit down right next to me for the 4 hour trip. Luckily, it was the best behaved baby ever. Whew!

2009-12-21T23:26:06.393+02:00

aww!
that's sort of how I feel in nyc sometimes. Everyone pretends not to notice or care about anyone else, but then a baby gets in the picture and all the busy people wearing suits go gaga...

2009-12-15T03:08:15.492+02:00

This is a really powerful post, filled with really powerful sources and questions. The d'var I'm working on right now is about who we have the responsibility to care for -- I'd love to talk with you more about the question, because it's a big one.
