In my high school history class at the end of the 1980s, Mira Levy would seat herself behind the teacher’s desk, open an old notebook, and start lecturing. I think we stopped somewhere at the conquests of the Six-Day War of 1967. Too bad I didn’t keep the summaries I prepared in advance for my matriculation exam. They might have helped me in the past few days when I prepped my son for his exam in history.
