One Semester Down, Eleven to Go!

It's over! I can't believe the first semester is over. In the last two weeks I wrote two 12-page papers and took five final exams. The semester went by so very quickly. I learned so much over the past four months. Yet, I have so much to learn over the next five and a half years of rabbinical school. I've grown a lot and I will continue to grow.

This winter break I am spending time with family in Northern California and will be returning to L.A. before the New Year in order to prepare for my trip to Ghana in January. After Ghana, I'm already eager to jump back into my next semester. I will continue my Hebrew and Mishna classes but there will be new classes on liturgy and the Bible. I'm looking forward to it!

In other news, I was happy to see that the occupation of clergy has made U.S. News and World Report's list of the best careers for the future.
