(no subject)

I'm being honoured by Drisha at their annual fundraisers dinner - apparently they're proud of my achievements (isn't that nice?). I'm supposed to be providing some Reflections on what I'm up to at the moment, and am stuck for words. Basically what I want to express is that it's really great having this job partly because I get kicks from watching people get kicks out of Torahs, and partly because I get kicks from watching women & girls getting ideas. I'm not coming up with an elegant way of expressing this, sadly.

In other news, we spent Shabbat in New Haven, which was very lovely. I liked the town a lot (it was very Oxonian, which should come as no surprise given that that's sort of the point of Yale, but it was pleasantly reassuring), and we met some very nice people in the community. I think I'd be quite happy to live there.
