A cold, rainy, and windy day. Sounds like a good time to stay home and curl up with a book and a hot drink, right? That's not what 250 women did this past week. Instead, they traveled by bus, car, or foot to come and learn Torah from two dynamic, smart, and engaging women Torah scholars.

It was one of those days when the typical morning routine suddenly wasn't typical.  It began with a leaky ceiling that led to a broken garbage disposal and cupboard full of water.  As the day progressed it was fraught with lost gloves, windshield wipers that had seen better days, an unexpectedly broken rear view mirror and finally the clothes dryer making a "klunking noise."  Exasperated I said a quick prayer for patience and strength and then felt a little sheepish for asking for the mundane when certainly Hashem was busy with bigger and better things.  I took a deep breath, tried to  find my center, and then recalled a beautiful idea.
