http://sectsandcity.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sects and the City. One Rabbi's journey through life and learning. Rabbi Elizabeth S. Wood. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. A Mi Sheberach for me? Suddenly, everything became different. And before we knew it, my mother had to be admitted to the hospital because her blood numbers were so dangerously low. Her cough was too suspect. She couldn't eat, she couldn't breathe. It was not good. And our faith has helped sustain us as well: a visit from our Rabbi here in Indiana who offered words of prayer and comfort...

Sects and the City: March 2012

Sects and the City. One Rabbi's journey through life and learning. Rabbi Elizabeth S. Wood. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. 40 years of female Rabbis. When I was applying to Rabbinical school, right out of college, I remember having the following fears: maybe I'm too young, maybe I don't have enough experience, maybe I'm not what they're looking for. But never once did I say to myself: Maybe I won't get in because I am a female. At last week's CCAR (Central Conference of American Rabbis). Here is what I wrote:.

Tovah ha'aretz m'od m'od: May 2010

Tovah ha'aretz m'od m'od. See what kind of country it is. Friday, May 28, 2010. Yesterday was the last day of classes at Pardes - bittersweet, for sure. Now, everyone's caught up in the whirlwind of packing up and saying goodbye. But amidst all that hullabaloo, here's some Torah from my last gemara class.*. The mishnah (Bavli Sotah, 45b) goes on to say:. לא בא לידינו ופטרנוהו, לא ראינוהו והנחנוהו. The gemara (Masechet Sotah 46b) asks the question - how is it that this corpse got there in the first place?
