For 50 years, Leah has written an annual New Year's letter to her fellow teachers' college colleagues in Israel. She falls in love, is unfairly maligned, makes bad decisions, is proud or aggravated about her sons, and is betrayed more than once. www.gpgottlieb.com/podcasts/hap...
Happy New Years
After finishing her teaching degree in Israel, Leah emigrates to the U.S. for a teaching position that she thinks of as temporary. She ends up staying for 5 decades.
