We were studying Chumash today, and we learned the section about the midwives who refused to kill the baby boys. God rewarded them by giving them "houses." I asked the students what they thought that meant. Gabe responded by saying, "I don't think this means literal houses. It means metaphorical houses. This is like what we learned in Mishnah, when it said to make a fence around the Torah. We are supposed to protect the Torah and God, and when we do, God protects us. I think that's what this means."
Kol HaKavod, Gabe!
