I just got an email from the folks from Lishma wanting to know if I wanted to go again this year, and teach part-time at Ramah while doing it. It's strange- part of me would love to, especially if it were more practical. More of me feels like it was a fabulous experience, but I'm not sure I could do it again, with another bunch of people, different directors, and all that. The tempting part is that the Talmud teacher will be there for the full month this time, and I'd Love to learn with him again. But it just isn't practical- I need a job, and even if I'd be paid something for that month, I'd have to cover airfare, find a subletter for the month, and find a job for the rest of the summer- and it's for the month of July, basically: not exactly convenient timing for having some other job. It was a wonderful experience, but I'm not sure about this- it would be like living half in one world and half in another, too. That would be hard too- to be part of a community that's that tight, but not to be in on a big chunk of the jokes, the bonding, etc. I don't know- it would probably be great for someone, but I don't think that person is me, which I rather regret.
