http://sectsandcity.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sects and the City. One Rabbi's journey through life and learning. Rabbi Elizabeth S. Wood. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. A Mi Sheberach for me? Suddenly, everything became different. And before we knew it, my mother had to be admitted to the hospital because her blood numbers were so dangerously low. Her cough was too suspect. She couldn't eat, she couldn't breathe. It was not good. And our faith has helped sustain us as well: a visit from our Rabbi here in Indiana who offered words of prayer and comfort...

Sects and the City. One Rabbi's journey through life and learning. Rabbi Elizabeth S. Wood. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. My mother, Sharon, died two years ago, today. Why don't we dance anymore?

Sects and the City. One Rabbi's journey through life and learning. Rabbi Elizabeth S. Wood. Thursday, October 4, 2012. Creating Community, REAL communnity. I have a friend. Her name is @knitgrlnyc.
