To anyone who enjoyed this post, I recommend Rifka's book which comes to mind -- Life in the Present Tense: Reflections on Family and Faith.

So many fractions that I prefer united theories when possible, altho I know that is not the most intellectual answer. Either way, my community is American enough for it to stick.

I totally want to hear the purim story you are referring to... :) Perhaps because of your readership, you have equated modern orthodoxy with the Dati Leumi movement. In my mind they are separate and supremely distinct. Curious if you share that perspective and used MO for lack of a better, relevant translation, or if you disagree with my assertion...

I feel bad for the recipients of the "shiva ladies". I remember eating baked ziti for a week when helping out with other kids, when my daughter was laid up from knee surgery..they were all delivered so lovingly from friends, neighbors... or when I came back to Baltimore from shiva on erev Rosh Hashanah, and meals were arranged, but people kept coming over with food saying, "I'm not on the list, I just wanted to make sure you had enough"...it's almost like Purim with mishloach manot...ish l'rayahu...you find out who your good friends (and sometimes just acquaintances who want to do a chesed) are...In that suburban locale...you are right...even though the climate is warm..it must be so cold living there. About your description of your community and modern orthodoxy..right on...I wish I could personally reflect on living in Israel, maybe and hopefully sometime in the future that dream will come true!! You are a great writer and continue...you express yourself (and what others think) very profoundly..and I am personally proud of you (third grade was NOT so long ago) BubbyT As usual, this is a beautiful piece.

It may not always seem that way and there may be small episodes here and there, but the big picture tells a VERY positive story. Those of us in the "situation" you beautifully detailed above should consider ourselves among the lucky ones. Not mostly worth it – totally worth it.
