Sunday Morning

hey hi hello there,

so im up ssuuupppeerrr early, like every other day, to go teach my second graders at Sunday school. today we're learning about Avodah, or living a prayer-like, torah filled life.

avodah kind of interests me a little. its so broad, but at the same time its really specific. like, "follow the ten commandments" alright, well thats pretty straight forward. but then "remember my mitzvot and do them" alright G-d, ill just keep in mind every single thing youve ever done for me and recreate it? that cant even happen. so i guess i'll just work harder on living in a way that makes me feel proud of myself. and so teaching sunday schools a pretty good start...

last night i saw Twelve Angery Jurors at Greehill. it was so, so, good. theyre performing again today at three, i believe. the play was about twelve jury members called to decide a murder case. at first, eleven of them are all convinced that the man is guilty beyond reasonable doubt, but one brave man wishes to talk it over and explore every aspect, because at first it seems like he is the only one who realizes that they are throwing a potentially innocent mans life away. one by one, after going over diagrams and even recreating the murder, they believe that the man is innocent.

the play made me realize that sometimes you really have to stand alone for a little while, even when its hard, to get other people to listen and to understand your point of view. so way to go, Andrew Smith, Brett Bode, Serena Anis, and everyone i didnt know, because you were all incredible.

okay im going to be late now. thanks a lot, blogspot.
