It’s been quite some time since I’ve written about Jewish teens [I posted my very first blog in the early months of 2011] but now, for many reasons, I’ve decided not to return to this part of my life. I delayed packing away my “Hebrew” school stuff (I’ve always hated that term, but no other seems to stick) because I wasn’t ready to leave that amazing, unnamable space between student and teacher. Teaching preteens and teenagers has always been so incredibly rewarding, so, before I put the experience to bed, I decided to re-read student comments from this past year.
