Can a parody of the poem be a bridging task? asks Barry S. F'rinstance, young Robert is deliberating between two Yeshivas, one that has a strong Talmudic program and the other that encourages working with the community... Or he gets a new set of dishes and he wonders if he should make them milchig or fleishig. These are actual issues faced by Robert Frost's cousin Noa, who ended up dropping out of school to take care of her siblings Jack and Sun. Noa's parents ran off down the road less travelled, but forgot their GPS and never found their was back. It is from Noa Frost that we get the word for that evanescent feeling that overcomes us as we hesitate between two equivalent choices, frozen in paralysis and somewhat destitute; in a word, Frostitute. note to all Christian Etni readers: Just think: This coming Sunday, you get to eat ALL THE FOOD! / Barry S. ************************************** ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** David Lloyd: ETNI founder & manager http://david.greenlloyd.com ***************************************
