The son had loved his father dearly but does not favor his way of life. His interest in school greatly outweighed his interest or desire to work on ‘The Boat’. He still had a love for the sea and in some way felt like he should carry out his family’s tradition. After his uncle had accepted a new job he took his position on the boat and promised his father that we would continue to sail with him for as long as he lived, and when his father passed despite the desires of his mother he followed his dreams and pursued education and all of its wonders. After living his life he finds himself longing for the sea again and isn’t so satisfied with his life.

As part of the Havayah city-wide project, this year your children learned how to frame sacred time, people, and places within the framework of how their secular life intertwines with their Jewish life. They found their own meaning, created individual projects as well as group projects. The students determined how they wanted to learn and rose to the occasion as their final results showed. As a class we also discussed Shabbat, Hanukkah, and Passover. This was an amazing year of learning for me. Incredible teamwork and serious learning done by the students.

Bill Coon is a two time heart transplant recipient, one time kidney recipient, and organ donation advocate. When asked why he became an advocate of organ donation, he simply replied, “Without organ donation, I wouldn’t be standing here today.

Nature is an all powerful force that does not care whether a man lives, or dies. This could not be more true in “The Open Boat” as we see the plight of a crew of sailors as they struggle to survive after their boat has sunken. Throughout the story we watch as nature slowly weathers the men. The setting of the story heavily impacts its theme as it describes nature and its power.

It’s easy to tell that the ocean is a mysterious and isolating place from all of the tragic tales we hear from sailors both real and fictional. Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and an anonymous author’s “The Seafarer” are quite similar in that they both revolve around said tragic tales told by sailors. However, there seem to be more commonalities between their themes, tones, and messages rather than their seaward-bound settings. But before we can discuss these similar settings and deeper themes, we have to tackle their origins.
