I apologize for the lack of recent articles and Q&A's posted. Besides being busy finalizing the new JITC episode on Shabbos (which we expect to release next week), I've been very busy planning the Mayim Bialik event to benefit JITC.
A couple weekends ago, smack in the middle of two international tragedies - the earthquake in Japan and the gruesome terror attack in Itamar - we found out about the death of our friends' one-year-old daughter.
Three and a half years ago, when I quit my Jewish outreach job in order to focus on an Orthodox image makeover campaign, I was one woman against the world('s misconceptions).
I was invited to be a guest blogger on the Jewish Learning Institute Community blog which you can see here. The subject they're covering the week is faith. Faith is my middle name. (No, really it is!) I hated the name for much of my childhood. Until the day that I grew into it!
When I was fourteen I decided that I was going to become perfect. Yeah, I hear how it sounds now, but at the time, it seemed like a brilliant idea. See, I have an older sister whose greatest pleasure during our childhood was to constantly tell me everything I was doing wrong.
