TheJewishWoman.org Update: May 3, 2010 | | Editorial & Commentary |  | Jillian, Have a Baby!
— A Response to Jillian Michaels
By Mimi Hecht (Notik)
When you think pregnancy, all you imagine are stretch marks. When you hear baby, you just see flab. To you, growing a child is a "that" - not a feminine experience.

We were close enough to talk. To scream. To hear each other’s cries. Close enough for me to hear him say, “I’m going to die.” And close enough for him to hear me say, “I love you.” | | Women on the Weekly Torah Portion |  | Growing Your Love
— Parshat Bechukotai
The husband and wife paradigm is often used to depict the relationship between G-d and the Jewish people. This is because no other relationship exemplifies the cultivation of such deep and dynamic growth... | | Poetry |  | The Third Generation
