If All the Seas Were Ink
Ilana recommends the Dafyomi4women podcast, as well as A Bride for One Night by Ruth Calderon, Maggie Anton‘s books, and a new book by Dr. Ruhama Weiss, in Hebrew, called Yalta.
Religious changes while parenting
Finding God in a Hot Slice of Pizza by Tova Mervis in the New York Times
Shpitzle’s Secret, an episode of the Longest Shortest Time
Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, a wife concluding that she’s a lesbian, and child custody, by Eugene Volokh in the Washington Post
Endorsements
Yael recommends the food, particularly the tahina shakes at Goldie, a kosher restaurant in Philadelphia.
Zahava recommends that everyone know that Rav Shlomo Aviner says that it’s prohibited to using the praying hands emoji because that’s idol worship. She also recommends an amazing video of the Chief Cantor of the IDF (apparently a real job) singing Unetaneh Tokef.
Tamar recommends the book 100 First Songs, a book and CD collection of classic Israeli children’s music. There is also a youtube version, which is less good.
