The Start of a New Year

It’s been quite a while since my time at CAJE and the idyllic atmosphere of Vermont has been replaced by the tumult of another school year beginning. We began our classes at Tiferet Bet Israel this week and it’s been a very strong/positive beginning. I feel the arrival of our new rabbi, Josh Kalev has been both a calming and energizing force on our families.

Already I have begun to utilize many of the sessions I attended at CAJE, especially in planning my Family Education programming for this year. And I plan on starting a new parents-only blog shortly to keep our parents appraised of everything going on in our religious school.

And since I always try to mix the two primary subjects of this blog together with every posting: Here’s another great coffee to try. It’s a Kona coffee that I discovered in my last visit to the Big Island. It’s called Kona Lisa coffee. Check out their website. They’re under new ownership but I would bet it’s still amazing coffee. I intend to order some very soon.

More to come from “the educational trenches”!
