You loved to teach. In time, you tried the rabbinate. And you failed. But a great Jewish scholar said two words you would later invoke many times with many of us: "try again." And you did. Thank God you did.
The narrative reflects on a person's passion for teaching and their attempt to take on a new role in the rabbinate, which ultimately did not succeed. The experience highlights the challenges faced when stepping outside one’s comfort zone. Despite the setback, a wise Jewish scholar's encouragement to "try again" resonated deeply and became a guiding principle for the individual.
This affirmation to persist in the face of failure spurred the person on to continue their journey. The author's gratitude for this tenacity underscores the value of resilience and the importance of embracing new opportunities, even when initial attempts do not go as planned.
