My Day So Far

1:30 PM Any minute now a student is coming for about our tenth meeting of learning Pirkei Avot together lishmah. Priceless. A member of our school's kollel gave a guest shiur to one of my tenth grade classes today. His focus was relationships and no-one seemed to remember that that was the focus of the talk they heard yesterday. A colleague just vented to me about how she's only nice to her offspring and yet they say they can't come to her for a meal on yom tov, but then it turns out that they're going to a meal with someone else. I sigh on her behalf.

A student is meeting with me later today. Her question: if one person is a kind and moral and wonderful person and another person does not seem to be any of those things, but the latter is "religious" and the former is "not religious" who is "better?" Also, if two people are both doing good and moral things but one is religious and one is not, what's the difference between them.

Another student should be coming soon to discuss her seventy something.

Another student and I have been trying to meet for a while about life, the universe, and everything. Hopefully we'll meet today pre-Pesach.

The Pirkei Avot tzadik is on his way. yay!

4:04 Meeting in moments with a student. Generally we work on davening, today we're talking about Pesach. I told him that its frustrating but if we hold on a little bit longer we'll see full redemption. He said, "I doubt that." Sigh.

4:38 Taught 5 periods today and did four periods of Torah Guidance. Number four is starting now!

5:15 Just had a great talk with a sensitive soul about G-d and and and.
