Very, very nice poem!  The video is really awesome!  I really wish I could read/write Hebrew!  I've always found it to be so fascinating!

I do know just a little Hebrew, dear Nora... at least, no problems with the alphabet. :-)

Well done!!!! Has all the snow gone over there yet?

thanks for posting that Svetlana

Great video, Svetlana!!  Ofra Haza was the greatest singer of all time, worldwide.  I totally love her music.  There will never be another like her.  She was the best!!

Fully agree! :-) And this particular song is one of my favorites.

A lovely snippet dear Svetlana, and thanks for reminding what I've almost forgotten.

Hag Sameah, my dear friend! Shalom ubraha! :-)

Hag Sameach dear Svetlana and thanks very for the video, I admired Ofra Haza and mourned her tragic death. She was nicknamed 'Hazamir' - the nightingale.

Yes, my dear friend, I know her story... so indescribably sad... one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

Shalom ubraha - S.

This is beautiful!  Once I learned the Hebrew alphabet, and spent hours writing it, imagining how English words might be written ... I was fascinated by the visual beauty.  Thanks for reminding me.

Shalom!

The same with me, dear Michelle... I hope to polish my Hebrew in the nearest future - maybe dear Haim would agree to help me in the process - shalom! :-)

Blessings and best wishes - S.

Another beautiful video and my introduction to a warm woman singing from soul deed.

I have much to thank the Jewish people as they have helped me find my soul and discover my path. I've asked the question "tell me who I am" many times and so this song has a poignancy for me.

Sveta, your poetry is of the highest level and the deepest emotions. Bravo.

Thank you in great abundance for your most kind and generous comment, dear Fred! :-) I love this song, too... much for the same reason.

Hugs and prayers in a plenty - S.

Я желаю что я смогло прочитать это! Мои русские изучения менее и далеко недавно. Но я выберу его вверх снова! Один день я буду написать как это без пользы переводчика Babelfish! Можете вы прочитать это? Я интересую если он переведет правильно?

Славно для того чтобы видеть вас снова, Alla!

Вы для делить эту поэзию, Sveta. Оно красивейш. Я люблю песню Ofra Haza слишком!

Отлично, Сестренка! :-) Отлично! You're making a GREAT progress.

Love and hugs - S.

Are there only 22 letters? Amazing...22 letters that have said so much to the world...Tav to Alef...

Yes, dear Sandi, since the Hebrew alphabet includes only the consonants. Some early Rabbis figured out that the written Torah included 22 Holy Scriptures precisely because there were 22 letters in the holy language (Hebrew) in which the Torah had been given to Israel. For this purpose, they even viewed some books as one (The Twelve Minor Prophets, for example). Josephus and early Christian fathers, notably Origen, followed the same reasoning.

Hugs and blessings - S.

I love your insight into history, Sveta! I love that you know this!! How cool.

I didn't know it, by the way! So thanks for sharing. :)

I am sending you an email...

Lovely tribute. You are so kind and loving. A true friend you are, to all of us! Thank you for posting to our group. Love you, Jen

Love you, too, my dear soul sis - thank you! :-)

Hugs and blessings - S.

such beauty in only 22 letters

Yes... beauty and depth. ;-) One of the oldest alphabets in the world, BTW. Thank you, dear Regina!

Blessings and best wishes - S.

Excellent description of these scriptures.

Thank you, dear Bill! :-)

Every reader of Hebrew is in a catch22 dilemma

From Wikipedia: "Catch-22 is a term coined by Joseph Heller in his novel Catch-22, describing a set of rules, regulations or procedures, or situation which presents the illusion of choice while preventing any real choice. In probability theory, it refers to a situation in which multiple probabilistic events exist, and the desirable outcome results from the confluence of these events, but there is zero probability of this happening, as they are mutually exclusive."

So? :-)

Blessings and best wishes - S.

Informative and beautiful poem. moved the Hebrew in my blood & soul.

Thank you so very much, dear Terry! :-)

Shalom from Moscow - S.

God is universal. Well done, Svetlana :)

So true... amen to that! :-)

Hugs and blessings - S.
