I rejoice every time I find a progressive Jewish blog out there which I didn’t previously know about. Don’t know why I didn’t know about you but I’m glad I have now. And thanks for linking to, & quoting my post. I share yr sorrow, believe me.

Especially glad to welcome a progressive Jewish interested in Torah (don’t know if you’re Orthodox or not). But we need more blogs like yours for sure.
