Molly Parr's Profile

Allston, MA

I live in Lower Allston with my husband Rich and our cat Rooster. I work at Boston University in the development and alumni relations department, which is the first place I’ve worked that doesn’t have “Hebrew” or “Jewish” in the name. You may have read my words (sometimes under my maiden name, Shaffer) in Jewish publications including The Manhattan Sentinel, The Long Island Jewish World, The Jewish News of Western Massachusetts, The Jewish Advocate, The Jewish Journal Boston-North, The Jewish Voice & Herald of Rhode Island, Interfaith Family, JewishBoston.com, or my personal blog, Cheap Beets.
