Torah/תורה: May 2004 Archives

the first sound I was conscious of this morning was shofarot. i suppose to announce the Holy Day tomorrow.... i dreamt i was catching pecan-sized espresso beans with one outstretched hand. i was trying to catch as many beans as possible, couldn't use two hands, and was tempted to put what i caught in my mouth to be able to contain more. but i realized i would overdose on caffiene if i did that, so i held my hand as still as possible and allowed the beans to stack. and many to drop. i got adsl working at home and a large amount of online work completed. i'm plugged in. i'm nervous and excited that shavout is near. we learned gemara on na'aseh ve'nishma, hundreds of thousands of crowns, crushed fingers, supernal fruit. i had a practically private shiur of the mei hashiloach on parshat yitro. i had a chevruta on luzzatto's book of logic. i had an amazing day. i pray to stay open.
