3.  Thomas Gray: Exile Chores

In the NY Times is an article about an orthodox Jew, Shimon Waronker, who is turning around a NY High school.  This is an example of what Israelites need to be doing in the world, as I see it.  I am amazed that he has gotten as far as he has, since some of the things he has done are officially prohibited.  In this case, he might be getting away with things because they don't want to seem to be discriminating against a Jewish minority.  I feel sure that a Christian who asked subordinates to hold hands and pray (as he did) would have been fired immediately.  May God give him more power and success.

I don't believe that our job as Israelites is just about getting home to Israel or making people aware of our roots, but to be doing these kinds of things to bless the world.  This case is unusual in that this lone ranger is actually being effective.  Most lone rangers get steamrolled without support.  Is anybody listening?
