Three weeks into Rabbi school, I have just one thing to say: I can’t believe how much work it is.
My challenge is to remain a whole person while doing all this work. I don’t want to neglect my family relationships, nor get away from my spiritual practice. Studying Torah and Jewish history for 30+ hours a week does not in itself bring spirituality into my life.
