A Woman’s Right to Pray at the Western Wall

2 days ago by Leora Maccabee

International Solidarity Day with the Women of the Wall reminds me of my own painful experience trying to pray, wrapped in tallis and tefillin, at the Western Wall at the age of 16. Related posts: Tweet your prayers with @TheKotel

4 days ago by Sean Herstein

Although the Book of Maccabees and the siddur attribute the victory to God, nothing would have happened unless the Maccabeees picked up their swords and shields and went to battle. No related posts.

Learning From Hanukah’s Miracles

4 days ago by Sean Herstein

Although the Book of Maccabees and the siddur attribute the victory to God, nothing would have happened unless the Maccabeees picked up their swords and shields and went to battle. This type of miracle is a partnership between God and humans. This is the type of miracle that we rely upon every day. ...

Decisions About Someone Else’s Life

7 days ago by Erica Diamond

So here I am now, sitting at my computer, a complete flubbering mess. This morning, my whole family attended a religious ceremony at my my son’s school (my grade one-er).

Christmas Lights vs. Chanukah Candles

8 days ago by Leora Maccabee

Hands of Light: A Traveler’s Hanukkah

11 days ago by Jenna Zark

It sits on my shelf, a poor relation to the stone menorah with its carvings of children holding up our candles every Hanukkah. THAT menorah is weighty with memories. THAT menorah is staying home. I am packing for New York, where I will see actors auditioning for my play at Circle Repertory Company. ...

Bah Humbug

13 days ago by slipsofthetongue

I’m Jewish and I hate Christmas. There, I’ve said it. Do you really need to read any more? Yet somehow I’m going to muster my strength to tell you more. I hate the commercialism as much as anybody.

TC Jewfolk Kicks Off Hanukkah Blog Series

18 days ago by Leora Maccabee

Hanukkah is a great example of the Jewish Holiday motto "They tried to kill us, we won, let's eat." If you want the rest of the details for the holiday - you know, questions like Who tried to kill us? How did we win? What do we eat? Where can I buy great Hanukkah gifts in the Twin Cities? What are c ...
