Spent the weekend in Detroit, with Congregation Shir Tikvah, who will be the owners of my current (second) Torah scroll. Properly thoughtful posts on that to follow; in a word, Shir Tikvah is what it says it is: innovative, yet traditional, friendly and inclusive. And it has incredible attention to detail; that struck me over and over again. As I say, proper post to follow.

For now, a little bit of yay-bouncing - regular readers may remember Tefillin Barbie's making the front cover of New Voices magazine, and me saying it was rather unlikely I'd do the same, Barbie being much more photogenic; well, I made the cover of the Detroit Jewish News. So hah, Barbie! It's a very nice article, as well, props to journalist Shelli Dorfman.
