My blog readers know that each week I write about one of three Bs in my life — Books, Boys, and Bodies.

Books because a writer is also a reader, and I love having the opportunity to highlight an author and their book.

Boys because I’m the mother of a son. (I’m also a former teacher and sometimes write about my students.)

Bodies because I am chronically ill and live with an invisible disability.

This week, the topic of my blog post is publication news. But not just any publication news. Publication news about something I don’t write about much — my religion.

However, I’m proud to share that my personal essay, “Family, Faith, Fear: Navigating the world as a mixed family,” has recently been published on the On Being Jewish Now Substack.

I’m proud of this piece. And I’m proud of being brave enough to write about a different aspect of my life and my family’s life. You can read the essay in its entirety by clicking here.

As always my dear readers, I thank you for your support each week.
