I was really excited! I had had my first lesson! I now also had the money to pay for the lessons ahead. I saw good things ahead! It seems however, that it wasn’t to be… Within a week, my teacher had got sick. It looked like he wouldn’t be able to teach me. Unfortunately he was to leave this world from the disease. Not knowing how bad he was at the time, I still waited hoping that thing would improve, though they didn’t! It was a loss for all of us, as I look back and realise that had I only been able to complete my studies with him, I think I would already be writing successfully. In fact, I would have been writing within a couple of months tops! I know that it was definitely his joy to see the pupils he had made – and I am sure he would have felt proud at being responsible for turning me into a Sofer too.
