Because you could have! I think the answer is yes, and what jackie said, but I'm with you on the guilt over not being practical. Sigh. Did you just channel me with that last paragraph?

I think those intimate family celebrations and rituals will leave deep imprints on your kids, probably deeper than a service. And isn't that what its really about- loving G-d with all our hearts and souls and teaching that to our children? Hey, I pay attention during the prayers. ;-) I think it counts (but what do I know, I’m a shiksa.)

I think I've been spending too much energy worrying about "placing" essays these days, and should be spending a greater proportion of my writing time on actually making them as good as I can possibly make them, whether or not I think they'll get published-- I think that's more likely to make the kind of writer I want to be.
