Sections → Family → Parenting Our ChildrenLike most first grade classrooms, the one I was observing had students with multiple reading levels.

Sections → Family → Marriage and RelationshipsDear Dr. Yael: My husband recently started davening in a vasikin (sunrise) minyan. Our problem is that I am a light sleeper, and he sleeps right through his alarm. I realize that while he is not trying to be cruel by intentionally leaving on his radio in the middle of the night just to hear what is going on in the world, my patience is extremely thin at 4 a.m.
