What’s in a Name (When You’re Jewish)?
When I was pregnant with the baby who turned out to be Robbie, I had a pretty short list of boys’ names I wanted Jon to consider.

My Substack Subscriptions
... At the moment, here’s what’s speaking to me on Substack. I subscribe to each of these for $5/month. I love what each of these women bring to their spaces, from the profoundly personal to the thoroughly researched; often, the deep anthropological dives are inspired by their own struggles. I highly recommend all of them!
