The blog con has begun!
Hello from the beautiful conference center at Montclair State University!
The blog con has begun: tonight Thurman made some beautiful opening remarks (which I hope he’ll post here eventually) and then I led an erev Shabbat (Sabbath eve) service with Harriet’s exquisite melodic help.
I posted the siddur (prayerbook) from that service, with a few explanatory notes, here at my blog.
We’ll try to update this blog regularly throughout the weekend with links to people’s posts; if you’re liveblogging the conference, let us know!

Rachel, enjoyed your erev Shabbat service. Saying those prayers while looking around the circle at bloggers backed by the Manhattan cityscape made for a singular religious experience.
