R. Teichman: Un-resigned or Un-fired?
I've copied the text of the latest letter from TA (they might consider starting a blog...). This one is from R. Teichman, explaining his reasons for leaving, and his decision to stay.
All I can say is, I don't buy it. Having worked for five companies over the last seven years (and having been laid off twice), I can vouch that your average working man does not just leave a job without a good idea of what they are going to do next, unless their separation is compulsory. Also, everything I've heard has indicated that there was at least some kind of mutual agreement to separate. I suppose the truth is out there, but I'm still looking for it.
Dear Parents,
Over the past eight years, due to the efforts of a wonderful staff og Rabbeim, teachers, administrators and a supportive Board, the Mesivta High School has made great strides. As Rosh Mesivta I have been fortunate to play an integral role in that development andI am forever grateful to my colleagues who together with me have brought this dream to fruition. It has been and continues to remain a grat challenge to provide a Mesivta where the variety of our students and their needs can be met.
Recently, I have considered my achievements, in light of my own personal professional goals and aspirations. I had concluded that it was time to seek other opportunities and challenges. There are many factors that go into a decision such as this.
However, due to an overwhelming heartwarming expression of support from parents and sutdents alike, as well as an appeal from my esteemed freinds on the Board and the encouragement of my Rabbeim and colleagues to reconsider, I have concluded that I will remain in my current post. After much soul searching, I have determined there is still much to accomplish in our Mesivta and I do indeed feel a sense of responsibility to continue to build in the successes of the past.
I am deeply indebted to all of you for your support and sincere interest in my family's welfare. I look forward to serving you with ever greater dedication in maintaining the unique vision of our Yeshiva for the benefit of all of our talmidim.
May we merit the Syatta D'Shmaya to see our Yeshiva and children propser and grow in Torah and Yiras Shamayim and my we together merit the Zechus of being Marbeh Kvod Shamyayim.
Sincerely, R. Tzvi Teichman
Interesting turn of events. Thanks for keeping your finger on the pulse of the Baltimore Jewsih community, Greg.
