Nun, Gimel, Heh, and Shin

Nun, gimel, heh, and shin,
See the wooden dreidel spin.
Nes gadol hayah shin,
If I'm lucky I will win!

I play with my new dreidel
upon the shiny floor.
I ask some friends to play with me-
we must have two or more.

I give the players pennies-
the same amount to each.
We sit down in a circle,
the pennies within reach.

Each player puts a penny
in the proper spot.
The middle of the circle
is what we call the pot.

Friday word: Macarism

med_cat: (cat in dress)


Macarism
(MAK-uh-riz-um)
Noun:
-A philosophy in which one derives their pleasure from the inspiration of joy in others.
-Pleasure in or praise of another's joy; a beatitude.
-The practice of making others happy through praise and felicitation.

From Greek "makarismos", beatification; attribution of good fortune.

Used in a sentence:
"His volunteer work is an inspiring display of macarism."

Macarism is a rare thing indeed these days! This holiday season (and all year 'round), let's all pledge to embody macarism every day. We never know how much a seemingly small gesture of kindness might mean to someone...and their happiness will trigger happiness in our own hearts. Tag someone you know who is a shining example!
