Friday: worked on flaky torah
Saturday: in Forest Hills seeing various nice people
Sunday: didn't do any work! except teaching. We bought vegetables and put up blinds in the sitting room, and had lunch at Judaica Treasures on 72nd (fantastic menu). Mar Gavriel came round and worked on mezuzah skills. He's coming along nicely. Getting started is always tricky, because there are so many skills to master simultaneously, so it's good when people get past making random letters and into making respectable paragraphs.
Monday: finished working on flaky torah!!!!!!!! yay!!!! And taught leyning, and picked up megillah from Eichlers, where it had been getting a computer check. There were quite a lot of errors; I like to think that I would have picked most of them up had I gone through and checked by hand before sending it to the computer checker. The logistics didn't work out that way, though.
Busy weekends coming up: this Sunday I'm presenting a megillah at Ansche Chesed and then going out to Brooklyn to do writing with people at a Purim Carnival, and then the week after I'm doing a similar meet-the-soferet event at a Purim Carnival in Scarsdale. Need to think of something vaguely profound relating the Story of Esther to the Hebrew School. It's tricky; I can think of fewer stories less suited to a Hebrew school than Esther. Something about salvation of peoples, I suspect.
