Facilitator as space-invader!

[Yoav Peck]

I can one-up you, Thomas. In the holy space of Yom Kippur, toward the end of
the full-day fast, as a speaker reached the climax of a talk about the
holiness of silence, believe it or not, my cellphone rang. Understand, I run
programs on human dignity and cellphone abuse is one of the examples that
come up as people explore the ways in which they abuse each other’s space,
and here I was, Dr. Dignity, forgetting to turn off before entering the
synagogue. If people had not been in a Yom Kippur-ish forgiving mood, I
would have been tarred and feathered!

 

Meanwhile, I am promoting our opening space at the Jewish-Arab school which
my daughter attends here in Jerusalem. I’d be happy to hear from folks who
have done this sort of thing. I will be presenting the idea to the school
parents’ committee Wednesday, and I’m thinking that we should go for
inviting to the space all teachers, parents, perhaps the older students
(7-9th graders) and assorted additional stakeholders. 450 kids learn thee,
so it could be a big event. Any thoughts, tips from people’s experience will
be appreciated. Thanks much in advance, 

Yoav Peck, Jerusalem

Hi 

I have a confession to make. I, as the facilitator, was a space invader
today!

Just when I said the final words...I now invite you to come to the center of
the circle....my cell-phone rang!

 

Did that ever happen to anyone else in our community, I wonder??

 

Quite funny, actually. – And of course – it still worked.

Warm regards

Thomas
