Old Jewish feminists in Ohio

LOVE this New York Times article: Having a Bat Mitzvah in Their 90s Because It’s a Hoot

A bat mitzvah was rare in the United States until the 1950s and ’60s, said an associate rabbi at Menorah Park, Howard Kutner. Since then, many adult women have decided to make up for what they were denied as children, but most who do so are in their 50s and 60s

Awww, I love it. I'm going to tell my mamma about this. "See mom, you could be bat mitzvahed when you're 90 too!"

Yay! I love knowing people can do things whatever age they're at.
