Play Nice

Last night I showed up early to the Chabad House for a concert. Rabbi Bloten from Kfar Chabad, Israel was in town with his guitar. I was so early that a teacher from the Hebrew Academy had plenty of time to visit with me and show me the annoucement from the Rabbi. They are starting a building fund to address the shul's needs. The historic victorian on the UT Campus needs a huge amount of restoration. I sat there and thought about it and as I wrote a check, I imagined so many things that could be done with so little and then, the Rabbi's wife thanked me a gavlat. "Nu," she said, "this is very nice, thank you." I have to say, I am happy to be able to give even if it was more like a blessing than such a donation.
