Weird coincidences

[theyellowhobbit]

So it turns out that one of the rabbis on staff for the planning of Koach Kallah is actually an expert on reinterpretation of mikvah ritual in the Conservative movement. Rabbi Elyse Winick. And she was at the meeting at Penn 2 weeks ago (where we got free fleshig Chinese food) and I knew her name sounded familiar. I thought she might have been at the Mikvah Conference in June, but she wasn't, though she said she had wanted to go. So I must have heard of her in general in my miqvah questing. And she said that I looked familiar. If only I had realized then that she was in fact a mikvah expert, then I could have talked to her afterwards.

Anyways, I just sent her an e-mail. Hopefully she'll write me back. It probably isn't enough for a thesis paragraph, but it's a start.

If only I could interview Rachel Adler. But alas, I can't get in touch with her, since I have her name. Bitter irony.
