it's the final countdown

no, not the song from some crazy band in 1989...what was their name? mmmmmmm...way too many years ago...i know that elvis will know the answer to that question...

not so many days ago, the ancient hebrew language was placed before a classroom full of overtly intelligent people...over the process of days and weeks, the language itself has bombarded its way into the very air that has been breathed...it has seeped into the very marrow of their bones...it has settled into the senses of their bodies...in the famous words of one extremely diligent student, he said "ih'sall tov..." this is the summation of the last few weeks of incredible anxiety, heartbreak, hard work, and determination...this classroom of students has done nothing except eat, breathe, vomit, and intake all that they could regarding the waw conversive qal imperfect weak verbs with prenomial suffixes with a preposition and definite article leading the verb... identifying this type of sentence structure can give you some insight as to why it actually took so long to write down the hebrew scriptures...it could also make one more sympathetic to the hebrew children in their erroneous ways...translation is a bitch...

my friends, fear not...for lo, i am with you always, even unto the end of hebrew j-term...amen
