lyrics
and tune: Christa-Rachel Bat-Adam based on Exodus 3:2-3 July 15, 1989 above the sea, near Ga'ash |
It
was the day before the one and only experiment together with 13 people whom I had won over , towards what later I called "Succh in the Desert". I was, as usual before such events, terribly stressed. Actually I had come to a mound above the Mediterrenean, close to where my bus was parking during that summer, in order to make a song for my granddaughter's first birthday, but I was inspired with a song for my own support! |

The
last version of a second stanza was never sung. It tells about the goal of the "Ohalah", or "Rihlah" in Arabic, "Pyramidion" in English the mobile hosting-business based on the pyramidal tent  |

50 years since my and my son's immigration to Israel, and 23 years since the birth of Jonathan, Ronnit's and Uri's firstborn!

Words: Yankele Rotblit Music by Shmulik Kraus |
Though
this is an old Hebrew song Listen to a performance of Shmulik Kraus 1983 I learnt it only now. See about Rotem's visit |
| "man
is like a tree planted on water, requesting roots" This is the chorus of a famous Hebrew song,
Man is like a tree
planted by the waters Then my path got lost Man is like a tree planted by the waters..... |

Mika in her own house
at Shoham, since June 28, 2010, "...Manifestation
is meant to be a playground
|
It's still Friday, August 13, 2010
 |
 On the Eve of Shabbat, Mika searches for her "glasses". We gave her ideas, where they could be, not knowing why she wanted them so badly |
Shabbat, August 14, 2010, the 12th birthday of Ayelet,
Mika's cousin,
who is exactly 60 years minus 1 day younger
than their common grandma.
Though Ayelet's Bat-Mitzva will be celebrated only
in November,
[after the family's trip to Europe - also in honor of the Bat-Mitzva],
we were invited to celebrate the birthday on its very date: August 14.
We, that is the Rosenzweig family of Ayelet's father, my son Mika,
with his brothers Immanuel and Joel and his sisters Ronnit and Dita.
See Rafael
Rosenzweig's Family
Efrat's horoscope said: "Don't
go out with your car today",
and as usual - people make fun of such prophecies,
but being - secretly - afraid, they attract what they are afraid of...
The car lost all its water within 7 minutes and we had to stop.
 Mika with her brother Tomer. The taxi driver, whom Efrat ordered from Shoham, didn't tell us, that he, in fact, was at his home, far away, and that it would take him 20 min. to arrive. So we waited in the heat - at the entry to a military basis... |

We arrive in front of Micha's house at Mazkeret Batya,
together with most of the other families.
I try to be stingy with taking photos,
but wanted to catch each member at least once.
To celebrate in this case means to eat and be together.
No ceremony! Please no ceremony!
On this photo:
Dita and her husband Gid'on in the background,
Arnon and Ayelet , Micha's children, in the foreground,
framing my daughter's two daughters: Yael and Rotem.

Rotem with her uncle Micha and her aunt Ra'ayah(in Hebrew the titles are not used and kids are barely aware of having uncles and aunts)
 |
Again Dita and Gid'on, but here also with Uri, Ronnit's husband, who never utters a word on any occasion, but is very communicative with little kids, non-verbally.... |
The
two sisters, Orit and Hagar, with Hagar's husband Rafi. Orit's husband stayed in Moscov, where he works in the Israeli Embassy as a guard. |

There were two little boys and the friend of one of them, which makes three boys and Mika, the girl.
Ronnit's son Itamar, the born kindergardener, comes to make peace.
Mika plays the insulted-one, as so often, but Itamar brings her back into the circle
