Today was an exciting day. First, I gave my 22 page lab on Logo this afternoon and it went over very well. I am still feeling very proud of myself and hope that my students got as much out of it as I did. Then, I went out for teriyaki and BN browsing with the [ READ MORE ]

Psalm 2

I lift my eyes to mountains and sky, Hashem is there in the rocks and in the clouds. I find your animating force in things all around me, and I feel holiness in the cosmos I cannot see. Each atom rejoices in the glory of existance, The sould of Yerushalayim smiles with love for you. [ READ MORE ]

Ear of Corn, Ear of Stupid

Not only did the doctor say I have an ear infection, I also have a perforated ear drum which explains the excrutiating pain.

Havdalah on the Balcony

Thanks to me seriously excellent parents, I was able to make Havdalah for the first time in over a month. It was awesome in so very many different ways. I can now move on with some piece of mind. So the really good news that I didn’t get to share before Shabbos began was that [ READ MORE ]

Shabbos 2 Shabbos

What a week! Spent Yom Kippur at the Conservative shul in town. They are a small lay-led operation with about 30 families. They do however, have a nice small hebrew school which I hope to be volunteering at to get my 3 required hours in as far as my program requires. It looks like a [ READ MORE ]
