Once upon a time a long time ago, there was something called common sense. Common sense cost a lot more than a modern education; sometimes it cost you a finger or maybe worse, a limb. But there used to be a wisdom amongst people that you just do not find anymore. If there is not an application on their phone there is no solution. It seems as though in the act of teaching our children, what to think we forgot to teach them how to think. Many teachers currently employed will tell you how frozen and fear of failure many of the children are. There is no direction for them. They’re afraid to make a choice without direction. This is the fruit of the current educational model and the fragmentation of the fabric of the family of our communities. As a Rabbi, I fix all things, including sinks, Plumbing, mechanical dogs, and sometimes horses. It’s what we were made to do, fix things that is!
