The controversy over the term “Special Needs” has comes up fairly often.  Personally, I don’t like the term when referring to a person who has a disability. It’s patronizing and euphemistic in my opinion. Further, what does it really mean?

Are you a red-eye aficionado?

I left the World Union for Progressive Judaism Biennial after participating with 4 other women to paint several tallises created by silk tallit designer Larraine Larri of House of Rose www.houseof rose.com.au. These beautiful works of art will be given to emerging Jewish communities around the world!

The reason I mention red-eye is that I flew a flight for the first time. Somehow I lost a day. Or a night. I’m still not sure.
