I do not encourage hands to be raised with an answer. Why not?

First, because you want to ask random students to answer. That way you get a true picture of how many students understand what you are trying to teach. Don’t live in an illusion created by your gifted extroverts!

Second, because hand raising with answers is intimidating. One of your jobs is to protect the ponderous problem solvers who just need a little bit of time to think. If hands shoot up before they have an answer, they have been robbed of full hearted success – even if they eventually come up with a cool answer.

There are two good reasons to have hands raised.

1) A student has a question.

2) You want to poll your students. [Ed.: For example:] “How many students think that this puzzle may be impossible?”

The second will not work well because of classroom inertia. Few students will raise there hand in response to a polling question. A better way to do a poll like this is therefore to say “All students raise your hands. Now… only those students who think this puzzle is impossible bring your hands down.”

Heard this recently:

"When my husband sat shiva, I learned that shacharis doesn't take 15 minutes, and maariv doesn't take 45."

Wow, never knew this! If I ever needed an emoji in Word, I would copy-paste it from somewhere else.

I don't think all 3 of those lines (if any) are emojis. It's a small piece of "ASCII art."

This. I was impressed by how simple it was and how evocative the result was.

Was at the BMG adirei hatorah event just before (https://lakewoodalerts.com/kavod-hatorah-15000-greet-6-eretz-yisroel-roshei-yeshiva-to-lakewood/)

These types events (and others) always leave me with a particular type of sadness. I mostly understand my pain and its triggers. Yet I sometimes try again like an insane person.

Something like that but more practical. Or something like guitar strings on the seatbelt.
