View from the library of the Jewish Theological Seminary; ground-staff building a sukkah, ink-bottle in foreground.
We like working in the library, my apprentice and I. She has a big scroll of Torah that she’s repairing, and I have one sheet of Torah that I’m writing. There’s a part of the library which has great light and huge tables, so we meet there and work together.
Sometimes people come by and ask questions. Occasionally we inspire an undergraduate; last week one asked “Do you have to go to grad school to do this?” and could not quite believe that with hard work and diligence, you can sidestep the grad school part of having an interesting career entirely.
Generally the apprentice, with her huge scroll, attracts more attention than I do. So she gets to do all the impromptu teaching, and I just get on with writing.
