Rabbi’s Musings & Amusings

At some point during the school year, while teaching Gemara, I tell my students about Paul Harvey.

At the end of our daughter’s chasunah a few weeks ago, our family met downstairs in the kallah’s room. After gathering their things, we said goodbye to the chasan and kallah, and they left. Our older son and other family members took our younger children home, as well.

I was fortunate to spend a few summers together with Rabbi Yechiel Weberman when he was a rebbi at Camp Dora Golding. Rabbi Weberman is a dynamic and beloved rebbi, the type of rebbi who leaves an impression on you. He is also an overflowing wellspring of Torah thoughts on every topic, and he excitedly shares them with machine-gun-like rapidity.
