  • What goes around…

    So the only person I could think of to give me kalla classes for taharat mishpacha in this country is a gemara and halacha teacher I had in high school who made aliyah about the same time as me last year. In high school, she used to scold me for wearing skirts too low off…

  • Far from ducking under desks.

    2 out of 5 of my classes are in bomb shelters. As one student put it,“If anyone attacks Israel, we’re ready.” As another student put it,“…and we won’t hear the screams.”

  • Last names revealed…

    [First day of (2nd semester) school] All of these people have immigrant parents… parents who are just like me!
