The Elevator | 1 Story A Week

https://1storyaweek.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/the-elevator

1 Story A Week. Short stories to make you laugh or think. The world needs more of both. Some of my favorites…. I saw you in the elevator. You wore feather earrings and worn leather boots. You had an apron in hand, so I can only assume you were going to or from work. I wore a blue hoodie and carried a notepad in my messenger bag. The door opened. I said nothing. For weeks we rode that elevator and never spoke. We watched as various people got on and off throughout the day, sometimes exchanging glances...

A Jew in the Rain: April 2015

http://ajewintherain.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

A Jew in the Rain. Purim Vinz - 20 Adar - and its Megilla. 20 Adar is the anniversary of the downfall in 1616 of a man who called himself "the new Haman of the Jews," of the foiling of his plans to murder the Frankfurt Jewish community, and of the return of the Jews of Frankfurt under imperial protection and with imperial fanfare. The community established the date as a sort of mini-Purim, "Purim Vinz," with its own customs, including the reading of a special "megilla" describing the events. She went to ...

A Jew in the Rain. This Thought Has Been Brought to You by a Zucchini Peeler. Two thoughts fell into my mind just before Purim and then I saw a connection between them. 1 Hester panim is an illusion. 2 I was reading about the Norman oath of vassalage and wondered. Whether there is any parallel in Judaism. We do not exactly place. Our hands in G-d's and swear to be His from this day forward of life. And limb and unto Him to be true and faithful. do we? The later thought that connected them is:. At a fourt...

A Jew in the Rain. What Kind of Glasses Do You Have? Loops: Who was that? I: The eye doctor. He helps people know what kind of glasses to get. Loops: What kind of glasses do you have? I: My glasses help me to see better. Loops: Oh. My glasses have Shabbos in them. Because hers are sunglasses, and I often tell her of a Friday that. When it gets dark outside, it will be Shabbos. A Jew in the Rain. Kids Say the Funniest Things. When I heard about this, I thought it was wonderful. A Jew in the Rain. Navi Cla...

A Jew in the Rain: Sunflowers in the Drawing-Room: Some Notes on the 2015 Torah uMesorah Convention

http://ajewintherain.blogspot.com/2015/05/sunflowers-in-drawing-room-some-notes.html

A Jew in the Rain. Sunflowers in the Drawing-Room: Some Notes on the 2015 Torah uMesorah Convention. As it turns out, the Torah uMesorah teachers' convention isn't a secret convention only for Real Teachers. There is a pre-convention for principals but (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that isn't exclusive either. There were high school girls babysitting and on their breaks they came to the lectures too. I wish I'd known this when I was in high school. Tell your students. Make class interesting to your.

A Jew in the Rain: Experiments in Teaching Medieval Jewish History, part IV: early medieval Ashkenaz (up to c. 1230)

http://ajewintherain.blogspot.com/2015/06/experiments-in-teaching-medieval-jewish.html

A Jew in the Rain. Experiments in Teaching Medieval Jewish History, part IV: early medieval Ashkenaz (up to c. 1230). For this unit, I relied heavily on sources I found in R' Binyamin Sendler's The Chosen Path. Below I include only sources I found without the help of his excellent textbook (some of which he also includes). I didn't give all of these to my class. As usual, I haven't inspected the sites I link to here; they are provided merely as a convenience. The rather bizarre story. To The Canterbury T...

A Jew in the Rain. Don't Be a Menace to Elijah the Prophet While Worshipping Your Idols in the Hood. Looking for feedback on this work in progress. Experimenting with "novelizing" segments of Tanach based on the understanding of Chazal and commentaries, to create quality Jewish "edutainment" and thereby increase Jewish awareness of genuine Torah information. Below is my first "installment" (in progress). Please comment! Choose for yourselves a bull! A rustle of voices emanated from the crowd of idolatrou...
