Because I appear to be in a creative drought (this time last year I wasn't blogging because of conversion drama), I've decided to take a page from the book of many great bloggers and give you some of my greatest hits. These are some of my favorite blog posts, as well as some that seem to be exceedingly popular with the Googling-and-Reading crowd. Enjoy, and let me know if you want any guided posts in the coming month. Happy Holidays!

- There Are Some Things You Don't Expect | August 20, 2006 ~ Yes, there is a Jewish homeland in Russia.
- Va-Yiggash: The Family Reunites! | December 28, 2006 ~ I struggle with the word ger and whether post-conversion a convert should be called a ger or a toshav.

- Shabbat Thoughts | July 23, 2010 ~ This one reminds all the born Jews why they should be nice to the converts. Food for thought, that's all. Wink!
Enjoy, folks. There is a *lot* of good stuff in the archives. I just wish I had been using tags and labels pre-2009 ... growl.
