Lefanim, this word reminds me of an old, familiar pair of shoes. The fit is perfect and it provides a comfort that I think will carry us through our blogging adventure. From the beginning there has been an ease and comfort that has come naturally whenever Valerie and I have conversation about literature, life, and our common passion for teaching. My hope is that all of our blog readers will have the opportunity to be a "fly on the wall" and listen to the lively (sometimes chaotic) dialogue that occurs at the point of lefanim, when the wisdom of the past is coupled with youthful vision.
