I love your stories
I just listened to Mazel Tov and was blessed. Your series is so informative.
mazel tov / class info
Mazel tov to Leah! wonderful story! And, is it possible to get info about taking one of Lori's on-line classes?! Please!!!
Mazal Tov, Leah!!!
Leah, I wish you a fortunate life, great health, strong marriage, great friends and an enlightened path into Judaism to you and all your family. Mazal Tov!!!
Post the info please.
Perhaps Lori can add the info about her classes to her biography if Aish allows it, as it is news to me. I know the Chabad children who live here are home schooled, and they have classes on the internet for the Chabad children around the world so that their classmates are in Argentina and England and all over the world. They have cameras on their computers so that the teacher can see them and once there was a problem with a computer and the little girl took the camera and pointed it at her keyboard and showed the adults how to solve the problem. They can fly to visit each other on holidays. So while everyone talks about education in the future, Chabad is at the cutting edge. The important thing is to fight for keeping the option of home schooling alive because it is being outlawed in Europe and seen as child abuse, and religious communities are feeling more and more pressed by what is being taught and not taught in the schools, and even who can be accepted into programs here in the US which have licensing at the end, because they are not PC. When the law courts were in England the equity system grew up as an alternative. Then the legal system absorbed the law of equity.Similarly in Judaism there was tension between the Hasids and the Mitnagim. (I don't particularly like that term) but they worked it out. Granted not having a camera has an aspect of liberation. Afterall Judaism is about "hearing" more than seeing.
