Body Language - Part Two
Prepared for Yated by R. GIL

Social problems and personality problems can be discerned by observing if the child stays away or wants to be close to people.The signs of a person who prefers to be a `lone wolf' are a clamped mouth, an absent look, and an expressionless voice, all of which broadcast `keep your distance'.

Fingerplay Puppets for Little
by Devora Piha

Salt of the Earth
by Chaim Walder

You see them on their way to yeshiva with the heavy school bags dangling from their shoulder and several smaller colored bags filled with goodies that their mother handed them at the last minute.

POET'S CORNER
Getting Closer
by Chavy Katz

You feel the contractions
Just a little discomfort
Labor?

Then the pace quickens
You begin feeling queasy
Intensifying pain
Excruciating sensations.
You feel you can bear it no longer.
But with each passing moment
You know you are one step closer
To the anticipated miracle.
Birth!

*

You feel you are different
Just a little discomfort
Golus?

Then you are tormented
Merciless harassment
Endless anguish and sorrow
No respite in sight.
But with each passing moment
You know.
Yes, we all do,
That we are one step closer
To the long anticipated miracle.

Moshiach!
