Small Gifts

 

“Matanot Ktanot” (Small Gifts) is a well-known Israeli song. The lyrics, written by Noam Horev, express joy and appreciation for life’s small gifts – the spiritual gifts that empower us and give us the strength to keep going.

 

Small gifts Someone has sent me small gifts. Slivers of intention and circles of faith Small gifts Someone has sent me small gifts. Like the strength to accept that which isn’t, and that which is What else can one ask for?

 

Dear principals, teachers and students, We wanted to share with you the small gifts that iTaLAM offers both us, and you:

•         Enthusiasm to learn and teach
•         Song inspiring joy and emotion
•         Fluent conversation in the language of the Jewish People
•         Illustrated and narrated books telling significant and interesting stories
•         A “chavruta” – communal learning by teachers and principals from around the world
•         A listening ear, support and assistance from the entire iTaLAM team.

 

Thank you for all these gifts.

 

We wish you much strength to accept that which is not, and that which is. And we hope that you will always see the glass half-filled. As the song goes, “And that scent that tugs at your heart Creeping, creeping, and opening doors To a taste of happiness, to that same old song That’s been passed down through the generations.”

 

May we be blessed with a year filled with wonderful small gifts – scents, sounds, ideas, values and good deeds, passed through Am Israel from generation to generation.

 

Happy New Year,

 

The iTaLAM Team.
