I'm thrilled to speak with [first name].
[Organization's name here] are my kind of people!!!
FYI: Did a nationwide webinar for [adjective] Orthodox rabbis just yesterday.
Sure, I was raised Irish Catholic (long lapsed). But I have many Jewish in-laws as well as half my dearest, most trusted, most leaned-on, most splendid, most bizarrely wonderful friends.
I love "my" Orthodoxies, still dressed for 19th-century Poland. They hug a lot. For foodies like moi, kosher buffets are to-die-for. I side-step the patriarchal stuff, since "my" rabbis mostly seem to immoderately worship their wives.
In turn: they endure me and my profound ignorance.
All of which simply adds up to this: I LOVE a good fight!!! (And, as all Irish know, having a stout stick in your hands -- a stout stick made of words, in this case -- can significantly improve your outcomes.)
Count me in, if I can be of any use.
