The M'lamed and The Balagalah

After years of listening in on the m’lamed’s (teacher) lessons, the Balagalah (driver) gives the M’lamed an interesting proposition. What comes next is a beautiful story about how much we can learn from those around us, and what we can offer to teach. This story is retold by Jerry Kaye, director of URJ Olin Sang Ruby Institute (OSRUI), and a version can be found as story 155 in The Jewish Story Finder, second edition, edited by Sharon Barcan Elswit.
