After seeing Gloria Steinem the other night, Barry reminded me of something that had long since slipped my mind. Back in the mid 1970s, when we were newly married and graduate students at the University of Rochester, where Barry was pursuing research in the laboratory of a fellow named Michael Resnick, we joined the local chapter of the National Organization for Women. We were at a NOW meeting when Barry saw someone he recognized and introduced me to “Mike Resnick’s wife, Jackie.” To say the least, Jackie did not appreciate this introduction. Then and now, Barry is one of the most ardent feminists I know. I think he was just trying to tell me how he knew Jackie. But the language may have sounded as if he was expressing a view that surely would not have resonated at a NOW meeting.
A friend just sent along a link to a fascinating video.
Whether you have heard the sounding of a Shofar (ram’s horn) many times or
never heard it at all, this is a wonderful experience.
Have a great day.
Love,
