So I’ve been reading the book by Dr. Ron Goldman about questioning circumcision from a (reform) Judaism perspective. I’m working on converting (my dad is Jewish) but my son isn’t circ’d and it’s unlikely that any future kids will be either. I have a soft spot for Dr. Goldman anyway because he’s agreed to allow me to interview him for my book. (The proposal goes out tomorrow. Knock wood and so forth.) Back to circumcision, unlike many no circ advocates, I don’t think that bris milah is wrong. I mean, jeez, you can’t argue with faith. However, I would be a hypocrite to say that I believe that a bris is right for my family.

About Me
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.
