gorgeous – i don’t see any excuse for ANY teacher to respond like that!
it must be hard to let that go. find other people who you can trust to ask your questions.
and, by the way, that is a great, good-thinking question.
the sad thing is when adults respond way your teacher did, people tend to think that there are no answers. truth is there are great answers, just not everyone is equipped and knowledgable enough to answer them.
good luck, gorgeous. All Jews have a chelek in Olam Haba -look at Pirkei Avos.
