Welcome!
This blog is not something new. This is what I used to do at Wordpress platform, but hated the interface. So, I moved here.
This blog is about what I love: Israel, Judaism, dancing, volunteering, life.
For certain reasons this blog is not private as my other blog. This comes with more responsibility.
So, please:
1. Refrain from posting names of people if you criticize them. First of all, this is against the Jewish Law; secondly, nobody has cancelled the tort of defamation yet. And remember: things are never the way we see them.
2. Antisemitism as well as the hatred to any other nations is not welcome and tolerated here.
3. Please keep swear words to the necessary minimum. :)
4. Please come with an open heart and mind. I welcome criticism, but only positive one. If you tell me - oh, Leah that sucks, I will not cooperate. If you tell me: Leah you could improve this and that, I will listen.
5. Please respect the Jewish Law (Halacha). If you don't follow it, you still have the obligation to respect.
6. Please don't be rude. Words sometimes hurt more than actions.
Disclaimer: At this point of my life, I am not practising Orthodox Judaism. I personally do not know what branch of Judaism I belong to: I believe with all my heart that Moshiach is about to come, and I also believe that women should have more involvement in synagogues rather than leading classes such as "Baking Challah with Leah" :) or lighting the candles. (I don't know how to bake challah by the way. I buy it :) ) I also do not think that there is the single way to interpret the Torah, and I do not think there is this magic rebbe, who is always right (if you think he exists, let me know, I'd like to take a quick look!)
You are most welcome to comment or email me. I appreciate feedback. You are also most welcome to repost or give links to any of my posts if you indicate that I'm the author.
What else...
I'm happy to see you here and remember - you are never alone. We are togeher. We are here with you.
Update: this blog now has a mailing list. Scroll down the main page, and you will see the Subscribe to Google groups box. Please subsribe, and you will receive a newsletter every Thursday and Sunday. I am not using the emails you are using in anyway rather than sending out a newsletter, and hopefully you will enjoy it. As always, I welcome your feedback.
Update2: Major, major makeover :) Change of styles, userpics and themes. Hope you will like it :)
