"Changing of the Guard"

You've been reading that I've left teaching, so I think it's a good thing to read Shifra Shomron's Ink and Quill  about her entry to the profession.  Yes, that's the same Shifra who wrote Grains of Sand, while still in her teens, about her and her family's experiences during the last months of Neve Dekalim, Gush Katif, before Disenagagement.

I'm glad that there's a young talented generation entering the teaching profession here in Israel.  Her students are very lucky.  And we're lucky to be able to read more from Shifra.

G-d willing, she'll encourage more young writers.

Dear Batya,
Thank you so much for your compliments... and for posting a link to my blog of a first year teacher! May G-d continue to help us where we are and guide us to where we need to be.
Shabbat Shalom,
--Shifra

Shifra, good luck. Are you working on another book? Please insprire others to write, even an anthology of stories/memories.
