not exactly a story, just something that got the kids inspiired:
i heard about a teacher that came in a told her 3rd grade class that she was going to call obama, she dialed the white house and asked for obama, she got connected to person after person after person ect. and after about 15 min of waiting (tha class could not believe the teacher was wasting so much time!) they finally got connected to Obama’s vie president’s secretary’s assistant (or sm like that-i forgot)who said, “You can leave a message with me, but i can’t guarantee that anyone will hear it or respond back….
anyway the teacher was trying to point out that “right this second we have the opportunity to talk to the KING OF ALL KINGS!! ,look how hard it is to reach a human being- we are so lucky we get to talk to Hashem, the ruler of the world EVERY DAY!!..then they started praying 🙂
