Discovering Our Voices

October 13, 2016 by Micah Lapidus

This month’s #BlogaMonth prompt asks us to pick an issue that we are passionate about as educators. When I read the prompt I instantly knew the topic I’d choice: helping students discover their voice. Each of us is blessed with a unique voice.

Back to School

September 19, 2016 by Micah Lapidus

I’m writing these words from my middle school office at The Davis Academy, Atlanta’s Reform Jewish Day School. And as I write, I can hear activity all around me.

July 10, 2016 by Micah Lapidus

Last month my wife, Rabbi Loren Filson Lapidus, and I saw “Beautiful” at the Fox Theatre here in Atlanta. The show captivated me because, like Carol King, I’m a songwriter/composer. The creative tension  writing incredibly personal music that is then performed by other people– that’s something I’ve thought a lot about. I’d LOVE to chat […]

Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court Nomination Acceptance Speech

March 18, 2016 by Micah Lapidus

I happened to be in my car when President Obama announced that Merrick Garland was his nominee to the Supreme Court. Purely by coincidence I heard Garland’s acceptance speech which tells the immigration story of his family as well as explains how his parents instilled values in him and his sisters.
