Finally got a job and am going Friday morning to hammer out the details in my contract, get my textbooks, and set my schedule for the fall. I will be teaching at Margolin Hebrew Academy in East Memphis, and despite the fact that I'm not particularly religious myself, I'm really excited about the job-- small classes, essentially two sections of each course, with what seem to be some really great kids!
I am very excited about this job, not solely because I was at the end of the proverbial rope but because I really felt comfortable from the moment that I walked in for my interview. The atmosphere of community was heavy in the air and everyone I met was polite and welcoming. The Headmaster Rabbi is young, enthusiastic and friendly and I felt an immediate repoire with him as well as with the principal who interviewed me. Madeline goes to a Montessori school where community is vital and central to the philosophy and the experiences we've had there are almost all positive; for me to work in a place so much like that can only be nurturing to me.
So now, as you saw in my previous post, we get to move forward on the house front. Once the ink is dry on my job contract, we're going to try to move forward with the new house. Wish me luck!!!
