I spent the better part of one decade in Hebrew school because I kept getting left back. I had a lot of problems with the Sh'ma, a lot of problems. For some reason, I was unable to properly recite that thing except for the first line and my teachers, especially Miss Komen, kept picking (on) me to stand up in front of the class and sing it and that did not end well. It eventually became a psychological barrier and it was apparent to everyone that it was a lost cause. Did that stop Komen from picking me? No. Did that prevent the students from laughing at me? No. I eventually had to go to Rabbi Halpern's office after school for extra help but that only made matters worse. I was basically out in the wilderness with absolutely no shot. Somehow, in someway, I made it through and became a Bar Mitzvah per se - I even read my Haftorah in Hebrew without the English phonetic help. My life from that point forward has been a downward spiral although my relatively successful Green Bean dish I made from scratch yesterday has at least given me hope for a better and brighter tomorrow. |
