On any given day at school, one can see students hunched over, staring at screens, their fingers restless from typing away yet another essay, assignment or email. Pairs of eyes are tired from the constant blue light, and the near seven hours of sitting per day takes a toll on posture and energy. Students are on technology all the time, and most of their entertainment also involves electricity or the use of fossil fuels from driving around town to various hang-outs and restaurants.

When Judaic Studies teacher Rabbi Daniel Bouskila was 12 years old, he aspired to be an actor.

His first audition was for a role as an Arab prince in The Six Million Dollar Man. He did not get the part. Instead, Tony-award winning actor Barry Miller did.

It was an age when our feelings were always validated and always accepted as truths, regardless of how irrational -- unbeknownst to us at the time -- they may have been.
