Description

Zecharia Wallerstein gazed out the window of his seventh-grade classroom window and watched fascinated, as as handful of butterflies flitted in the warm, summer air. Over the course of his too short life, the butterfly became for Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein a fascinating study, a symbol and proof of God's grace. ..."It conveys a singular message of unlimited possibility and potential..." Im bechukotai telechu - telechu seems to convey more than another reminder to focus on Torah...telechu conveys the ability to go forward on one's own, to be able to move on. Thousands of Rabbi Wallerstein's students graduated a "butterfly" curriculum, one that guided them in their metamorphosis!
