There is an article in the New York Times<\/a> about a new modern version of the High Holy Day prayer book for Conservative Jews.

In this new version, in the Yizkor service (for the deceased) they have a prayer for a deceased partner, and they also have a prayer for parents who were hurtful – go figure. Interestingly enough my schism with the faith revolved around my deceased father and going to the synagogue to say Kaddish for him (the prayer for a parent or child) and because I am a woman, I couldn’t be counted as a quorum of ten men.<\/p>\n
