I shared some musings inspired by a recent levaya I attended in yeshiva (of Rivka Nachmias z"l) in conjunction with the start of the 2022-2023 year of yeshiva. We didn't engage in our usual level of in-depth analysis, but I hope that those who attended (and those who listen/watch) find that this provides a helpful perspective for their upcoming yeshiva year. ----------מקורות:מהר"י קרא וראב"ע - קהלת ז:א-בDavid Brooks: Should you live for your résumé ... or your eulogy? https://youtu.be/MlLWTeApqIMרד"ק - משלי ט:יב----------The Torah content for the first two weeks of yeshiva has been sponsored by Avital H.
