As someone who is proud to be a Masorti Jewish Transgender person, whom deeply cares about Halacha, and teaching what I consider to be important traditions to my daughter. I can't tell you how I appreciated reading this.

One can only write this, who is from this. Beautifully stated. I hope the tent becomes big again.

I am the kitchen maven at my shul, I keep it kosher, put out Kiddush lunch every Shabbat, help with community food events.

Thank you for this article, Z.E. As someone raised in the conservative movement, had my Bat Mitzvah at a conservative synagogue, and still affiliates with that same congregation that no longer identifies as conservative, I have a few thoughts on this. I started to type them out here, but I think that they're so long they may necessitate their own article - so I might get to work on that. Thank you for bringing this issue to light!
