Shabat, August 13th
The laid-back ease of the Blueberry Jam & the friendliness of the folks here have finally helped unwind me from the tensions I built up on the road & encountered at Elat Chayyim. It's also given me a chance to think. Every spare moment I spend reading, in-putting, so I don't always allow myself the time & the space to process.

I consider myself equally obligated as any male Jew to write a Sefer Torah with yirat Shomayim & this is a religiously authentic drive to perform the 613th mitzvah in the service of G@d. My motivation is not mishum yoharah (religious exhibitionism). & I am not attempting to ignore or undermine halakhic authority, as we have halakhic permission for women to write Sifrei Torah. & what is Judaism, after all, without the Halakhic process?
