I was blessed with the high privilege of teaching Mesilas Yesharim in Beis Yaakov of Los Angeles last year. It was an extraordinary experience. Actually, it was a revolution.
The girls of 11c embraced the Sefer. Every 45 minute class was a brainstorming session, with sharp questions, creative insights and new ways of understanding what it means to take Yiddishkeit seriously. We all grew in the process and BE"H we will continue to grow with the invaluable assistance of this great Sefer.
My only regret is that I failed to record the constant flow of חידושים. Readers will find several of my Beis Yaakov students quoted in recent posts. This will give you a taste of what occurred in our classroom conversations last year. But do keep in mind that it is only a small taste.
Yasher Koach to all the students of the 2013 11c class of BYLA. Thank you for an unforgettable year.
