I am a rabbinical student. In mid-May I will be getting my rabbinical ordination. But what I really do is teach. For the past six years (less one in the middle), I've been teaching Jewish Studies at a Jewish high school. If I can score the full-time position, that's what I will keep on doing after ordination. If not, I'll find something else in Jewish education. But I want to be teaching high school Jewish Studies. I love teaching high school kids: old enough to be able to learn complex ideas, but still young enough that their first instinct is to give you the finger. I love the challenge.
I also have been beginning to publish articles in the Jewish popular and academic press; hopefully this summer I'll be writing a short, popular book on theology. Also hopefully, someone will publish said book, and it will not be my last book....
