Picture
I am Rivka Cymbalist. 
I've lived in many places and traveled even more.
I have five sons and one husband.
I've assisted at hundreds of births. I honor undisturbed birth.  I honor women and their bodies. I believe it is time for women to take their own power and use it for peace.
My PR for a half marathon is 2:21:49
We had a mixed organic farm in Umbria for a few years.
I founded a radical volunteer doula organization in 2003.
I was always a cat person, now I'm a dog person.
I went to Greece in 2017 to work with people in the refugee camps.
My son and I own a cafe.
I love to throw parties, but then I don't talk much.
Books and reading keep me sane, more or less.
My father was a scientist who played the piano.
My mother was an artist who taught mathematics.
I have two sisters, younger.
My favourite poem is Ithaka, by Cavafy.
My favorite movie is Down by Law.
I can play the clarinet, and the saxophone.
