for Bernie

Dear Bernie,
As Tamara told you, I am not the principal of Baal Shem Tov School andy more. I retired. And, I am busy not with consulting the principals of schools, where they have problems and difficulties as in our school.
I miss the pupils a lot.
Tamara told me that your group has come to our school. It's a pity that I can't meet you in the morning in our school and I can't see you smiling to me and I can't see the happiness of our kids when they see you in the morning and I can't get a hug from you as a Dad's hug.
But, it's our life.
I want to tell you thank you for all the years that you were in the our school. Thank you for all the days, hours, seconds that you give to our pupils and thank you for helping our pupils in learning English, for the love that you gave them and sometimes there are kids that don't get it at home and your helped them to fell that somebody loves them and needs them.
you and your group of CAARI volunteers are in my heart.
You are so nice and a wonderful person. When I am writing you these words, I imagein your eyes and your smile when you are listening to me and tears are in my eyes.
It is so nice that I had the privilege to get acquainted with you and with other people from CAARI.
I wish you to be healthy and continue to volunteer. Take care of yourself. I hope that you enjoyed visiting Israel - our small and beautiful country.

With love,
Sincerely yours,
Mira (former principal of Baal Shem Tov School)
