Hi blogosphere\u2013it is my pleasure to start us off with blogging about this year\u2019s spring break trip. We had 40, yes 40!, law students on this trip with four faculty. And it was a great group.<\/p>\n

It filled my hear with warmth to experience the start of Shabbos with Jews of all denominations, but also to share this experience with my classmates.\u201d<\/p>\n

I felt the same way\u2013what a privilege to be able to share a place I love with a new group of students!<\/p>\n
