What's In A Name?

Welcome to Ha Kitah (The Classroom). As I thought about what to name this blog I racked my brain for cute plays on Hebrew words, like one of my classmate's wonderfully titled "My Two Shekels" blog. I had difficulty finding something appropriate until finally I stumbled on "Ha Kitah" which is Hebrew for "the classroom."  As this blog will follow me in my journey to becoming a Jewish Educator it is fitting that it be my classroom; a place where I hope we will learn together or just a place where you can listen to me ramble. As I thought more about this title the more appropriate it became. My passion is informal education - teaching outside the classroom/structured environment - I don't actually plan to have a classroom at this point in my journey, but this blog IS my informal classroom. If I use this space appropriately it is a great medium for informal education. 


In this space I will share my thoughts, pose questions, tell stories, and respond to other peoples posts that have inspired me. 


Thanks for coming, grab a desk, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
