G-d+Talk

= G-d Talk = We are in the middle of Sefirat HaOmer--the seven weeks between the beginning of Pesach and Shavuot--when we count the days between leaving Egypt and accepting the Torah at Har Sinai. This is a time for reflection, a time to improve ourselves and to think about who we are and who we want to be. It is an opportune time to think about Hashem--our beliefs, questions, doubts and wishes.

With that in mind, I have posted excerpts from the G-d Journals each of you wrote several months ago. I would like you to use them as discussion-starters. Each week, between now and Shavuot, please respond to a different classmate's journal, for a total of four postings. You may comment on the classmate's journal or simply use it as the starting point for a discussion of your own thoughts. You are also welcome to move from topic to topic in your discussion, beginning with one thought and moving on to something else you would like to discuss. What is most important is for you to use these postings to express your thoughts honestly and seriously.


 * Each posting should be at least 10 sentences long, and each sentence must be meaningful.
 * You are also encouraged to respond to comments that are made about your postings; and you are required to answer any direct questions classmates may ask about your journals or postings.
 * There is a limit of four main postings for each journal. If four people have already written main postings for a journal, you must choose a different journal for your posting.
 * However, there is no limit for how many shorter postings you would like to write.

__**//Please be sure that your discussions and comments are respectful and not hurtful to your classmates.//**__

Please proofread your work, check your spelling, and make sure your thoughts are expressed understandably.
