Teaching Metaphor

A shamash (שַׁמָּשׁ) is the candle used during Hanukkah to light all other candles on the menorah. It brings and shares light without diminishing itself, in turn allowing the other candles to bring and share their own light.

Through teaching I am not just drilling facts into students' heads. I am igniting in them a lifelong passion and fire for learning and sharing knowledge. 

There is infinite knowledge to learn and share, and we are never diminished by doing so. In fact, we light up the world when we explore new ideas and learn from each other.
Never let your candle dim!
