I come from an interfaith family (my mother is Catholic and my father is Reform). Since my mother was far more religious, they decided I would be raised Catholic. We still celebrated [...]

		<description><![CDATA[  Dear Allison, I have really enjoyed reading all your articles and watching your videos -- they answer many questions (some that I didn't even know I had). One of the many things you're good at is explaining the idea of modesty within the Jewish tradition. I recently had a Sabbath meal with a somewhat [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The idea that the Jewish nation considers itself to be the "chosen people" is something that rubs many people the wrong way. Such a term smacks of elitism and supremacy. Do we Jews really believe that we have some innate quality that makes us a "master race?" Upon examining a famous midrash (a commentary to the Bible based on exegesis, [...]

As I pursue becoming observant, I have received many negative comments about the Orthodox, especially the Chasidic, from fellow Jews in particular. Why is this? I don't understand. Can you shed some light on this. Thanks, Shelley Dear Shelley, It's [...]

The most important thing is that Torah is READ by someone with a love for it. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. [...]

But just then, wouldn't you know, one of our neighbors walked through the lobby at the exact right moment to catch my flailing arms in his peripheral vision. "Hashgacha prutis" (Divine Providence) I [...]
