601 Esther’s Middos Touch

“I’m looking for a girl with good middos,” the yeshiva boys of my youth would say. The teachers beamed, proud that their students were looking for girls with strong values — family, respect, and modesty. Problem is, nine times out of 10, those boys were punning on the Hebrew word middot, which also translates as measurements — as in 36-24-36.”

Esther’s story continues.

Esther is on my blog roll under “writers.” I think she is good--actually very good--and will be famous some day, and then I’ll sniff and say, “Oh her? Yes, I knew her back when she was tossing things over the transom, shopping her novel. I practically discovered her, you know.”

What an interesting article! I've blogrolled Esther now. :-)

BTW, that kitty seems insistent on adopting us and even my hubby likes her. She's hanging out with him in his home office today.
