I don't even go to a Conservative shul.Originally posted by lord of the mark
Cause the minhag of our shul is that ANYONE called to the Torah wears a tallis, and women are ENCOURAGED to wear them when davening whether called to the Torah or not. Ditto for Tfillin, at weekday minyan. Fortunately she used mine for class, or borrowed one. She has not yet insisted on us buying her her own set.
I suggest going to a Jewish bookstore or gift shop. At least here you will find even Orthodox ones carry tallesim in pink and other colors a man or boy wouldnt wear, to cater to the Conservative Bat Mitzvah trade. Youre in Montreal right? The Conservative shuls up there tend to be more traditional on gender issues IIUC, so maybe you wouldnt find it up there.

This 2002 thread from the archive is essential reading. It details how our own EK fell foul of Scientology.

Dangerous, just as any other sect.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

From the EK thread:
Kick ass! I think I wanna be "initiated".Originally posted by faded glory
I heard they have strange and alluring practices to bring you into the group. Like once I read in watchtower they'll have the younger women initiate 3somes with men, to get them coming back and get them to agree to go too Scientology studies. Which I also hear has an element of brainwashing in the studies. Its a wierd belief/initiation. Germany, actually......all of europe has banned it.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

I went 5 years ago to some free sessions for a friend and didn't get anything like that.I heard they have strange and alluring practices to bring you into the group. Like once I read in watchtower they'll have the younger women initiate 3somes with men, to get them coming back and get them to agree to go too Scientology studies.
All I met were 2 out of shape women, aged 40-50, and the sessions were boring. A session on an intergalatic evil Xenu would have at least been entertaining, I would have even been willing to provide the sound effects.
I'm going to the scientology website and demand I be properly seduced.

My wife and little girl go to the Temple almost every week. If you want to join, the fees - Oi! (my wife says I should convert, the Yamakuh will cover the balding spot on my head - and I go "hah, hah"). I'll probably have to put together a Bat Mitzvah myself in another decadeand for the same reason as LoTM. And I'm an ex-Catholic!

You see, this is why I don't like most secular synagogues, because they make it about money. The synagogue I go to is Chabad, and is just an extension of the Rabbi's house. It could probably fit 70 people, so it's not that small. There are no fees, even though the service is longer, the Rabbi knows more, and there is always a delicious Kiddush meal afterwards. The Rabbi and Rebbetzin are absolutely wonderful people, each with equal and great knowledge about all things related to Judaism, and even things that have nothing to do with it.Originally posted by shawnmmcc
