Avi Korman believed in clean breaks, and he knew what he had to do
Avi Korman pulled up and parked in front of the long, low hotel building just like he had six months earlier. He slid into his usual space, feeling a sense of clarity and calm he hadn’t felt in a while.
This time he was more determined than he had ever been before, even more than when he’d first come to set up the yeshivah.
Then, he’d been filled with dreams about what the future would bring. Now, he knew what he wanted.
What he wanted was to be done with this whole parshah. It was his mess, and he would clean it up. The yeshivah was a nice try, and Rabbi Wasser had shown his abilities. Dovi was learning well and he was clearly very happy, and that was a nice thing. But the commitment was too much.
