WINTER RAGE
בס"ד
3 Sh'vat
I should be asleep right now, but the storm outside is so violent that the house creaks & the windows shake. I'm surprised I can still sap this mysterious wireless connexion from I don't know where. The ferries have been cancelled until further notice, so I may not be able to return to Vancouver tomorrow. We'll see.
I have deeply appreciated my visit here, the town where I grew up, the old friends at synagogue, the faces I've had the privilege to lock eyes with over Torah.
I've been teaching this week, so thank G@d will pay the rent. I've also managed to get some writing in, but still no e-mail. Ever since my computer reset itself to January 1970 over a week & a half ago & forgot all my preferences, permissions & passwords, the electronic end of my business has been stalled. All the more so since I have been travelling to meet Jews on opposite sides of this continent & greet them with the neshamot, the souls, of the Hebrew letters. When people are thirsty for G@d, you give them drink.
As usual, teaching has been a humbling experience, but gently so, thank G@d. Even the children in the Hebrew school brought me a little lower today, bless them.

Aviel- perhaps that is why I have not been able to get my e-mails to you- January 1970- whoa. Probably not appropriate here, but I sent the check off for the class! Can't wait to start!
Aviel,
I sent you an email earlier this week on behalf of the Canadian Federation of Jewish Students about possibly speaking at our Western conference in a few weeks. My phone number is 778.881.0140. While a little odd to communicate it this way, the conference is fast approaching and I would wlcome an opportunity to speak with you about it at your earliest convenience.

Aviel, it's wonderful to see you writing. The storm was milder in Vancouver but still kept me up much of the night. If you were to call or email, I would like that.
