Deep (Freeze) in the (Warm) Heart of Texas

If I have learned
anything from teaching middle school for the last 12 years here in Dallas, it is
that we live in an age of superlatives. Nothing is just nice, it is “amazing.”
If it’s unpleasant, it is “tragic.” With all the emoting and words that are
causally tossed around, I am left to wonder what word might describe what Texas
went through the week of
Parshas Teruma.
“Devastating” is a contender, as are “traumatizing” and “crippling.” Perhaps I
will land on the all-time favorite term used by my students, “epic.”
