Crap. The Pet Died While My Kid Was At Sleepaway Camp.

Dina Adler

“Mom, how come you signed your last emails with just, ‘The Adlers?’” This was my kid’s first question when we picked him up from his two weeks at sleepaway camp. Like many parents, I… emailed my son daily during his stay. I kept the first seven emails upbeat, and, in the spirit of family, I signed the emails with the usual “Mommy and Daddy” alongside the names of each of our menagerie of pets: gerbil Buzzy, guinea pigs Trevor and Andy, and fish Brigade, Ballista, Bomber, Bulletproof, and Bazooka.… >> Read More

(And, yes! That's a Hebrew name, meaning "daughter of God.") “Let’s talk… >> Read More

The Jewish Versions of 2018’s Trendiest Baby Names

Eliana Padwa

Being Jewish in 2018 often means toggling between a live-in-the-moment secular culture and a set of ancient rituals and traditions. It’s never easy (Friday night — drinks with friends or Shabbat… dinner?) but there’s one aspect we don’t talk about enough: baby names! When so many of your friends’ kids get to be Venus or Kylo, traditional Jewish names can feel limiting. Don’t worry, though. For generations, American Jews have handled this by giving their kids a Hebrew name for religious ritual, and a secular, American… >> Read More

Holidays

40 Isn’t Just a Milestone Birthday. It’s an Important Jewish Number.

Rabbi Sari Laufer

I’m a congregational rabbi, so the month of August is always a bit anxiety-provoking. Whether the holidays are “early” or “late,” they are coming, and my mental checklist goes into… overdrive planning of sermons, services, and more. And this is to say nothing of the spiritual work; in the Jewish calendar, the month of Elul is meant to be one of anxiety for all of us. The shofar, sounded each day of the month leading up to the Jewish New Year, is a spiritual wakeup… >> Read More
