TheJewishWoman.org Magazine: November 27, 2011 | | Joys and Challenges |  | The Transformative Haircut
By Beryl Tritel
In the weeks preceding this event, I found myself surprisingly ambivalent. My husband was all for it, as he had never been a staunch supporter of growing it in the first place. The other kids were also excited at the prospect of a party. Me? I wanted to hold on to this cute babyness a little longer... | | Musing for Meaning |  | Praying to Be Wrong
By Sara Esther Crispe

— Illuminating the Month of Kislev
By Shimona Tzukernik
So “hitting rock bottom” is not the worst thing after all . . . it is only once we reach the bottom that we can actually be present to the new reality we are faced with. Only when we become present to a reality can we begin to move on from it . . . | | Poems about Parenting |  | I Made a Memory Today
By Iris Ruth Pastor
The crumbs on my kitchen table didn’t get wiped away today.
The ground turkey I defrosted didn’t get cooked, either. | | Reflections |  | Staying Calm
By Marcy Rivka Nehorai
A curious thing happens when you must be calm, when you don’t have the luxury of expressing your frustration, when what you want to do and what you must do are irreconcilably at odds, and little can be done to alleviate the frustration of a body and mind that want but cannot have... |
