Arm subsided and more or less restored.
Megillot approaching completion.
Talked to Hebrew school class about sofrut. I think it would have been more meaningful to all of us if the kids had actually known what mezuzot, tefillin, megillot, etc, were, but I had a nice discussion with the grown-ups afterwards.
Daf-Yomi funny. They learn out the principle of the resurrection of the dead by a parallel with birth, thus: Birth starts silently (at conception) and finishes loudly (it cries when it is born). Death starts loudly (with the noise of the mourners) - should it not also end loudly (with the resurrection of the dead person)? I think it's funny that they're deriving theology with this kind of highly formalised logic.
