Yeshivat Hadar mid-summer review
So this is the 4th week of my 8 weeks learning at Yeshivat Hadar this summer. But I'm missing a week later in the summer. So sometime this week is the midpoint.

Yeshivat Hadar Week 2 Day 3
So today was the first nursing home visitIt's possible that all of the talk and all of the support about this visit backfired, making me even more worried about the possible worst-case scenarios of these visits, but I was definitely downright terrified by the time I got to the home today. Through some combination of a newfound self-confidence and ( Read more... )
