Can't stop thinking about this: Tonight was my daughter's confirmation at synagogue. She did an awesome job, on par with or better than everyone else's. But, through it all, I watched as one or two of the girls found it funny to comment and laugh at her behind her back. I thought only I noticed, but afterwards, she told me about it, too. Breaks my heart. These are older teenage girls, supposedly moving on toward adulthood in their lives and faith. My brave daughter, who works harder than anyone every day to exceed everyone's expectations, does not deserve the derision of these lucky, lucky girls. I hate it. I wrote an email to the Rabbi, who taught the class. He should know that his job is not done.
