Notes on the midterm class (technically, we're 56% through with exactly 105 days left):

We played Jeopardy

My sponsoring rabbi is proud of me?!*

I have realized that etrog (the citron for sukkot) and eruv (the physical boundary to permit carrying items on shabbos) are way too similar for my brain

My team got second place

The guest rabbi was caught off-guard by one of my tangential questions**

We're over halfway through

*These classes are over zoom, and the leader of this class is married to my rabbi. He was listening to me steal anothed team's question about Beit Shammai and Hillel, and apparently was impressed with what I was saying 😭

**I asked what the etymology of ashkenazi is because I have never seen anyone explain why jews from eastern europe are called ashke (ashkenazi comes from ashkenaz, one of the sons of noah)
