I was in the Oasis (school store) while one of the staff was replenishing the register. He found a coin and started to throw it into the trash, Thirty years old and not worth anything anymore. Can I have it? I said. It is silver and about the size of a silver dollar, has a boat and a menorah on one side and 10 sheqalim on the other side. Oh goodie, I’ll make a piece of jewelry with it, I thought. After class I did some shopping on the way home. Oh no! I can’t find my worthless coin! It wasn’t in my pocket or purse, I must have spent my worthless coin !!!! That evening I told Don about my worthless coin and how I couldn’t find it and must have spent it…….boo hoo…..I wanted it. He reached into his pocket, Remember you gave me a handful of change before you left for shopping? We checked the change in his pocket and there it was!! I now have my worthless coin and am deciding how to make a piece of jewelry with it.

Shalom……………Bernice
