Unspoken wish granted
I had been wondering silently "where does the word ?Jewish? come from. Thank you so much for answering this unspoken prayer.

My students will enjoy this
I plan to share this with both my religious and Hebrew school children. It will be an excellent addition to the unit on how the Jewish people chose the Torah.

I find many things every day to be grateful for
And, you know, a very important thank-you ingredient is learning with you and the Rabbi. I often say it, but decided I wanted to also write it. It "seals" it!!
