L'Chayim
Isabelle had a fever this week and stayed home from school Monday and Tuesday. We received a call from a very concerned teacher at school who wanted to make sure that Isabelle wasn’t staying at home because she was feeling left out. Mild concern slowly transformed to overt laughter as the teacher explained her reasons for concern. Apparently, last week the teacher had asked if anyone celebrates Hanukah. Isabelle immediately raised her hand and then regaled the class with stories of candles, 8 days of gifts and other tales about Hanukah. It was reasonable to conclude that Isabelle is Jewish and it was sweet of teacher to grow concerned that, being the only Jew in the class, Isabelle may be feeling left out. As far as her parents know, she is a cradle Episcopalian with a precocious interest in ancient scripture.
