Hm my (Torras) iPhone case has a little holder in the back and it progressively bent over two years which means it doesn’t work reliably with MagSafe as it pushes the charger away.

Also the charging port has been unresponsive for months so it only charges with MagSafe.

Nice part about removing the case it devices looks all new now.

I am going to risk using it without a case for a few days … #GoodLuck

Good luck is always nice to have when starting something new—but with my Hebrew speaking courses and reading & writing program, you won’t need it!

My method is proven, effective, and easy, so success is built right in—no luck required.

But hey, if you still want a little extra magic, here’s how to say “good luck” in Hebrew! ✨

After that, head over to hebrewbyinbal.com, and let’s start learning together!

A quotation from Montaigne

We must learn to suffer whatever we cannot avoid. Our life is composed, like the harmony of the world, of discords as well as of different tones, sweet and harsh, sharp and flat, soft and loud. If a musician liked only some of them, what could he sing? He has got to know how to use all of them and blend them together. So too must we with good and ill, which are of one substance with our life. Without such blending our being cannot be: one category is no less necessary than the other.
 
[Il faut apprendre à souffrir, ce qu’on ne peut eviter. Nostre vie est composee, comme l’harmonie du monde, de choses contraires, aussi de divers tons, doux & aspres, aigus & plats, mols & graves : Le Musicien qui n’en aymeroit que les uns, que voudroit il dire ? Il faut qu’il s’en sçache servir en commun, & les mesler. Et nous aussi, les biens & les maux, qui sont consubstantiels à nostre vie. Nostre estre ne peut sans ce meslange, & y est l’une bande non moins necessaire que l’autre. ]

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: Goodbye! Good luck! If you can, be lucky, steer clear of disaster. That’s happiness for mortals.
 
[ΧΟΡΟΣ: χαίρετε: χαίρειν δ᾽ ὅστις δύναται
   καὶ ξυντυχίᾳ μή τινι κάμνει
   θνητῶν, εὐδαίμονα πράσσει.]
