It was my first real look at synagogue politics, and I didn't like it. I especially didn't like my job as a teacher threatened because I was networking as a congregant to force the synagogue leadership to keep its word and keep the temporary rabbi temporary and get another one to replace the one they drove away. And it's sad, because the congregation is in danger of failing if the new rabbi (with whom I have no problem) can't draw people back. I'm having trouble going back to a place that has such unhappy memories for me. I'm a bit rudderless right now, with no affiliation at the moment. Not really.

It takes a lot longer to host a carnival. I know. I did Carnival of the Cats once or twice. Definitely once. Anytime anyone wants to post something like the above, all they have to do is email me. I don't have a problem linking other Jewish bloggers, with certain exceptions. Hatemongers need not apply, and neither to uber-left Jewish Israel bashers.
