I know, I know, I still have to tell you how much I loved Limmud! But for a second, I have to rave about all the wonderful Jewish learning experiences I’ve had lately in Riverdale. I love classes.

As with any interview, there’s that anxiety that some of what you’ve said will be misinterpreted (as happened with my interview on Christmas and conversion with the NY Times). Plus, what… Continue reading Update! This was almost a video blog.
Dear devoted reader, Though I might not be blogging as much as I used to (in an effort to achieve balance between my love of writing and my desire to focus on my health), I am posting interesting tidbits on Twitter and my Facebook fan page. Be sure to check them out! Enjoy! XOXOXO, Aliza… Continue reading Miss me?
I’ve written extensively about how fibromyalgia has isolated me from others but I’ve never really written about how my allergies do that.
