Multi-lingual Birthday Party

Today was the little girl’s birthday party at gan (childcare). Surprisingly enough, it was lots of fun for both her and us. They sang songs, played some cute games, and she enjoyed being the center of attention.

My favorite part of the party was when they sang the song “Meachorie HaHar” (Behind the hill). In the song they sing “one, two, three” (in Hebrew). The teacher got all the kids who spoke different languages (English, Hebrew, French, Danish, German, Arabic) and each one of them said it in their language. It was beautiful. (Note, the teacher taught them the Arabic, nobody in that class speaks Arabic)
