"Women and Judaism," the editor writes, "carries an intention to do more than bring the reader new ideas to ponder. For Jewish women, it's a charge to claim and re-claim their rightful place in their tradition. For non-Jewish sisters, we hope that it encourages you to bring change in your traditions as you learn of our effort to be counted as full members of an ancient spiritual community."

Question from a congregant-"wouldn't it make more sense to atone one's missing the mark, and clear the slate BEFORE, the New Year?"
"To have the Rabbi going thru life’s processes at the same time is such a blessing-losing parents, not being filled with regret, wondering what one's authentic voice and contribution are after 60. "
