Hello, and welcome to my journal! If you're here through my website, then you're probably interested in my Jewish posts. If so, then please have a look at this list of Torah essays. I've also collected together descriptions of holidays and other Jewish occasions, which include a few wedding descriptions. And if you want my undying love and friendship, read and comment to my fanfic.

Everything on the list is in typical livejournal style; the entries describe the day as I experienced them. Though they contain Torah information, they are not intended as educational tools in the same way the website is. To read about my day-to-day life, just scroll down.

To regular lj-ers: This journal is about 50% friends-locked. I love new lj friends and I usually friend back, though sometimes it takes me a while to realize you're there. I don't have Internet at home, so while I can email posts, I don't get to read my flist as often as I'd like. With that in mind, friend me as you see fit.

Oooh. Hard to pick. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Becoming A Writer by Dorothea Brand, and The Gate Keepers by Jacques Steinberg.

I don't know if anyone out there still reads this journal, but here are two more book reviews, one for a biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder and another for the bio of her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane.

( Becoming Laura Ingalls Wilder )

( The Ghost in the Little House )

I'd enroll myself in Rabbi Zakutinsky's school for ninth grade instead of public school. That would change the whole course of my life.

If anyone's curious, I added another book review here.

On another subject, how do I get my display to come out left-justified instead of centered?

I've been on a Little House binge lately, and since the books and TV show had so many fans, I figured many other people might like to join in my reminiscences. My plan is to review all the books in the order in which I read them. Since I didn't complete the series as a girl, that means I'll be reviewing some of them now, as an adult. I've been re-reading those I read way back when, too. But it all started with the review of another GoodReads friend, so before I start on Mrs. Wilder's awesome classics, I'll explain what triggered this binge.

( Television Memoirs )

( Little House on the Prairie )

( The Long Winter )

( The First Four Years )

( Little House in the Big Woods )

( On the Banks of Plum Creek )

( By the Shores of Silver Lake )

( Farmer Boy )

So that leaves Little Town on the Prairie and These Happy Golden Years, which I haven't read yet. When I do, I'll add them!

Okay, here's another review:

( The Hidden Hand of the Holocaust by Yaakov Astor )

This, too, is about Daniel Deronda.

( The First Step in My Research )

I didn't add anything to my fanfic novel, but I did write two book reviews of two very different books:

( No Shame in My Game )

( Living and Parenting )
