I'm not ready yet. No , really , she has no school bag . We still live in that big old house with my mother ,and I still feel homeless and miserable .
But she is starting school on Friday , and so here is a special song with translation underneeth , It's a song that means a lot when you are Israeli , because school year always marks the beggining of autom ,and that the holidays are coming soon.
There is a special flower ,that shows up every year before the rains begin . It is called Chatzav ,and so I am translating here a part of this special song , sung by Yonnie Rechter , written by the late Elli Mohar ,and there it is for you . If you are ex-Israeli I bet it will bring tear to your eyes.

As
long as…
A boy
walks on the street
On
a fair morning of the month of Tishrey
off to school again the children go.
A
man is walking behind him,
Watching
over ,is seen, unseen
And
only afterwards he is standing there to watch ,
How another year is beggining
How another year is beggining
Like
every year in the autumn ,
How
a kid is walking on his own , with his dad following.
A man is watching secretly
How
his son is entering the class,
A man
is standing there like a kid left outside
And
they are already singing inside a song of a new year
How
everything here starts again .
They sing again about the rain
They sing again about the autom
And on the board show up the written letters.
(Aleph , Beit, Gimmel…..)
A man in the middle of the morning
A man in the heart of his life
Near a fence of a school , is standing there alone
And he remembers that his father once followed him.
He tries to hear the sound of his steps
But the children are still singing about the first rain and the
first flower of the autom
And so now the leaps of the man are whispering along;
"even if I walk in the valey of shadow of death I shall not fear. Even
if I suddenly fall , my heart will still
be singing…"
As long...
as long as the morning comes,
as long is the blackboard is written on
as long as a son walks a long and a father behind him
as long as the children sing about a new year
as long as everything here starts from the begginning.
as long as the sea rises
as long as the wind blows
as long as on the blackness of the blackboard , a word is displayed.

as long as the wind blows
as long as on the blackness of the blackboard , a word is displayed.
