OK Jewish Twitter. I have a real question. With the expected nor'easter in NY/NJ, I’m pretty sure my only meal in the Sukkah these first 2 days of Yom Tov will be tonight. Should we bother putting up decorations which will get drenched and maybe ruined in the storm?
So let me get this straight.
Today, tech is bad for learning and paper worksheets are good for learning?
Am I getting that right?
Twenty years ago I was around for the exact opposite conversation.
Maybe, just maybe, it’s what we do with the tech, or the paper, or our learners that matters?
We have added the following Editors' Note to our recent coverage of the Israeli government's reaction to the NAZA documentary: "Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article included a statement that was intended to convey Israelis’ perception of the government’s military response to the Oct. 7 terror attack in relation to the attacks, but inadvertently suggested that Israelis’ experience as terror victims was a matter of perception. It has been removed from the article."

@DBashIdeas My greatest memory of the regents. When the NY Post published the answer key to the chemistry regents on the day I was scheduled to take the test.
And we don’t know what it will be. So we cry. These are the cries of a mother waiting for her son to come home. These are the cries of the Shofar.
May we all be blessed with a year of life, health, wealth, and happiness. Shana Tova! Happy new year! 🍎🍯🎉
On 9/11, 25 years ago after I heard the planes hit, I realized my brother worked in the 51st floor of Tower 1. It was my third year teaching at @frischschool & and I was supposed to teach a roomful on teenagers on the 5th day of school not knowing if my brother was alive or dead.
That is the emotion that I had for those three longs hours standing in front of my students not knowing whether my brother was alive or dead.
That is the emotion of Rosh Hashanah. מי יחיה ומי ימות. Who will live and who will die. We are being judged. Our fate is being decided.
