Oh, and the person writing the original letter felt the need to state that she was writing "As a feminist, an atheist and a secular Jew."
(By the way, why don't people ever use the phrase "secular Christian" to identify people who come from a Christian background and still do stuff like Christmas trees and Easter dinner without really thinking about the theological parts of it? It seems like it would be a useful term, but I've almost never heard it.)

And now there are a bunch of "Well, those Jews are nuts! Here's another crazy Jewish custom!" letters.

Step away, Hil. Far, far away.
Step away from the crazy. Try some simple distraction [link]
I'm watching House now. Pretty good distraction.
Windsparrow is wise like an owl, or you know, those three guys riding from the west.
