What I will do if I don't get into Rabbinical School...
is not a question I need to ask myself anymore! To anyone who hasn't heard, I found out this morning (my time) that I'm in!
We had our first break from Ulpan, but Reuven (the Ulpan manager) hadn't gone to pick up the mail (though he had promised he would)... I had a feeling it was going to be in the mail today, so one of the girls next to me slipped out of class 30-min later, got her mail and mine, and came back and handed it to me. The girl (Monika) handed me the envelope. It was the 'thin' envelope, so I started getting nervous, and decided I'd walk out of class and open it. The teacher starts screaming about interuptions and how we can't do this, and so on so forth, until Monika told her what it was. I went outside and opened it, and only saw "Mazel Tov! Congradulations...", and then gave the class a thumbs-up, and they started clapping.... Was just a really fun way to find out.
Anyhow, I haven't been able to pay attention in class since. Hope everyone is well,
Love,
Daniel

Wow!! "My grandson, the rabbi." That beats "My grandson, the doctor" and "My grandson, the lawyer" hands down.
Mazel tov, Danny

Daniel,
The emails are flying through the internet clearly stating their congratulations and pride. I don't get to see you nearly enough but I still hold you close in my heart and I was absolutely thrilled when I heard the news. The HUC is very smart and very lucky. Best, Robin Baker

Daniel, or should I practice saying Rabbi Daniel. Oye! Me the mom of a rabbi. This feels BIG. I'm so proud of you. And excited. And, frankly, a little awed. I mean, a rabbi? (I think now you can't hit your brother in the head with a tripod anymore.)

Hey Daniel,
This is such great news. I don't know what to add to all the other comments. It was meant to be.
I'm on the phone with your mom right now and you will be surprised to know that we are talking about this great day. Or I should say...she is talking about it :)

so uhh...I guess I'm a little late with the congrats, butt I suppose you deserve. I mean - I was pretty concerned, you aren't the brightest tool in the shed sometimes. Now you just need to not fail out of rabbinical school. cheers from italy.

Daniel,
I haven't been to your site in too long. Wonderful to see you got in the rabbinical school! Then again, if you weren't admitted, who could be? It's truly your calling. I'm very happy for you that you got the official nod. This is the exciting start to your personal growth and profound social responsibility as a spiritual guide.
