"Chag Sameach, Phyllis. Our Biblical stories are so wonderful - inspirational, frustratingly complicated, multi-layered - that we can glean new meanings every year. Feminist readings have enhanced our understanding of the Torah, Mishnah, Talmud, and more in ways that everyone should be grateful for. Last night I went to a Tikkun Leil Shavuot which was very well done - about 10 synagogues joined forces and held the learning in the one with the largest building. There were lots of young people in the crowd as divided into sessions and stayed from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m."
Another email from a subscriber:
"Phyllis, thank you for this beautiful Vort.
The points fit together magically.
Hope you are feeling as well as possible amid the painful insanity it's our privilege to live through.
Please take care.
Lots of love"

"Thank you, Rabbi.
Well done and like the best of such things, leaves the reader with more questions, more to wonder about."
Phyllis, you should compile your spiritual writings for your next book.
