Every person has a circle in his heart- a circle of joy! Sometimes it is a small circle but it can develop and Grow and grow and grow… When the circle of joy is big, it sends small circles To hidden parts in our body To places that sometimes hurt. The more small circles of joy we have, The less painful places will be in our body Some people have a small circle of joy And they need help to develop that circle and make it grow You probably ask how? Each and every one of us thinks about a way: We can bring that person a candy We can give him /her a flower, sing a song for him/her Draw him/her a picture Or even say:" Good morning, how are you today?" The most important is to do it with fun And from the deepest of our heart! I wish that you will always have The Mitzvah of making circles of joy for others And by making circle of joy for others Your circle will grow! Dasi Rabinivitch of blessed memory A circle of Joy Thank you Kathy for being our best friend! Efrat, the children and the teachers of Akko
