Pesakh - you could make a transcendent lesson out of any material; the shtetl you brought alive in the classroom and the endless stories you could tell.  Yiddish was your great love, your students were your children.  I am sure that no matter where you are now, you are living on in our mameloshn and singing your beloved tango: "The whole world is no more than a story, a story, the world is a shpil..."
