Intense study = light blogging

Most of my day is spent in class with my fellow maggidim, listening to Erica and Mordechai. After and between talks, there is much to study and think about. Other people get quite jolly and conversant, but I turn into a hermit. This seems to extend to the blog, too.

We are studying the Jacob and Joseph stories very closely — close enough that I regret I do not know Hebrew. Some things simply do not come across in translation. But if I took up the study of Biblical Hebrew suddenly, I’d miss the point, I believe.

I will try to make sense later, and pay attention to what we fondly refer to as “the real world” later. Right now, you have to put up with the incipient maggid in me.
