Poetry!

Fellow Beit Midrashers, I was so proud of this that I had to share it with all of you. This is inspired by Ethan's tidbit on Monday [June 2, at the siyyum] about Mupim, Chupim, and Ard. If you are unfamiliar with the poem on which this is based (though I'm hopeful that at least some of you are), please see http://www.baseball-almanac.com/poetry/po_sad.shtml.

These are the strangest of possible names:
Mupim and Chupim and Ard.
All are reminders of woes and of shames
Mupim and Chupim and Ard.
Benjamin sure must have thought he was witty,
Naming his kids out of brotherly pity;
But next to them, Amon and Moav sound pretty --
Mupim and Chupim and Ard.

"I just wanted to write to tell you how awesome the Beit Midrash is. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed studying Torah this much -- the environment is truly pluralistic and truly non-competitive. I was hesitant at first about whether I could make time in my week for the Beit Midrash, but it is quickly becoming one of the highlights of my week -- intellectually and socially."
-- From an email from a participant

"Jewish learning happens person to person, in and out of and around texts. DC Beit Midrash fosters a phenomenal learning environment; encouraging all kinds of study, creating a welcoming study space, providing an opportunity for Jews of all backgrounds to participate in this essential, enriching, and joyous aspect of Judaism." -- Testimonial from a participant

"Finishing college and moving to a new city and work life leaves an intellectual void - no text analysis, no seminar discussion. So DC Beit Midrash bridges that gap, keeps the mind stimulated, brain exercised, spirit healthy, friends near." -- Testimonial from a participant
