Rosh Hashanah: Easier in a Church

Friend of Jewcy Harlyn Aizley on what to do during the High Holy Days when you’re a non-practicing Jewish lesbian and your wee daughter has just developed an interest in the Russian Orthodox church next door:

The thing about my people is going to temple during the high holidays ain’t easy. You need to belong or you need a ticket or you need someone to invite you. It’s easier to go to church and for a moment I thought maybe we should just go to a church where we could mumble things in Hebrew and secretly be celebrating the Jewish high holidays.
