The Israeli author Yael Biran wrote the educational children's book "A Fence, some sheep, and a little guy with a big problem".
In my small bedroom, on my desk, back in 1991, was an open physics textbook and a mostly empty notebook, for writing down equations and calculation while revising for my final exams.
I must have been staring at the wall for a long while before I started doodling in my notebook. I was very tired; my parents where in the other room watching the evening news, so it was probably around 9pm, I was thinking how you count sheep in order to fall asleep and my hand drew a sheep.
I looked at my sheep; it was jumping over a fence.
With a head full of physics exam questions and applied problem solving, I picked up my pencil again and drew her friend- pushing herself under the fence.
Suddenly I was awake, a new puzzle was raising it’s head and it was so much more interesting than ‘ A ball is falling to earth in an arc from a low gravity planet…’
I can’t tell you how long it took me but by the time I had drawn 15 different sheep, my parents where still watching the evening news. I was so proud of my little flock that I went to show them to my Dad. He was an amazing man, and instead of saying something along the lines of ‘Is this what you call studying for your physics exam ??!!’ he flicked through my notebook, then handed it back to me and said ‘go draw some more’. When excitedly I returned with 24 sheep, he smiled and said ‘now go write their story’.
Today, these little sheep teach adults and children all over, about the rainbow of possible solutions when facing a problem. The sheep in the book are non-judgmental; they don’t rank in order of anything. They are simply options, each with its pros and its cons, each relevant for some fences in life and not for others.
These little sheep have taught me a lot.
Talking to kids about the book is always fantastic; it opens an indirect door into important conversations, and gives us a glimpse into what is going on in their life. I vividly remember a moment when a 10-year-old girl taught me about ‘points of view’.
She told me how the band of committed sheep I wrote about - a group of sheep who get together and with the strength of a common goal simply trample the fence - each bringing the little she has in order to create an unstoppable force, that group of proud and united sheep- scared her. How she saw them as a group of bullies, as aviolent mob. I was struck by the complete opposite way an action can be experienced. It made total sense, but until she said it I never thought of them that way.
I must admit, it also made me happy that the sheep were described in such a way, that they allowed for individual meaning to be easily applied, regardless of what I meant it to be.
I love this book, a lot because it is adaptable; I really hope you will too.
The book was published in israel, the first edition was in Hebrew and in 2013 it was translated to more languages.
We at Pashoshim.com are truly honored to have the book in our catalog and it is recommended for young children.

We are pleased to introduce you two books dealing with parents’ daily concerns. The books were written by Michal Daliot, a popular figure in the world of Israeli education;
Bon Appetit, Ronnie! - Book in Hebrew
lmost every household has a child which for him and his parents meal times are a struggle, and the table - is the scene of the battle.
But he Started!- Book in Hebrew
In many families life fights between siblings are a familiar and disturbing phenomenon. Parents often drag themselves to their children's fights when trying to stop them, but most times they are just fanning the fight. Michal Daliot gives children a first opportunity to recognize the educational solutions she offers, without the mediation of parents.
Michel is known primarily for the hit TV show, Super Nanny, where she joins a family, helps and advises parents on the difficulties of raising children. In addition, every Friday Michal broadcasts radio programs where she answers listeners’ questions on the subjects of family. She is a regular columnist on the subject of parenting and raising children on the MAKO site.
Short video on fights between siblings:
Michal received her preschoolers teaching certification in 1971 from Levinsky College in the academic reserve.

Purim is a very special holiday for children, it features costumes and food packages alongside stories about the Jewish Mordecai and Haman. Each year, children compete amongst them who has the most original and creative costume.
This year, in Pashoshim, we celebrated the holiday in two ways which symbolize the holiday itself:
This year we conducted a global costume contest on our Facebook page, participants uploaded images of their children dressed up for Purim in original costumes. The winner of the competition was decided by the level of originality and interest of the costume and by the number of likes he received on the picture he uploaded.
The competition was very close, so in third place this year, won two costumes, and these are the winners for 2014:
The Awards that were handed out:
First place – The Jewish Murdechi from Mexico
Second place - Dragon from Israel
Third place - Spaghetti Bolognese from Israel and a princess from Australia
More pictures from Purim contest:
Snow White, Lion, Hello Kitty and Elephant.

What is actually “Adloyada?”
Adloyada is a funny and mocking exhibition held on Shushan Purim or Purim. Holding the Adloyada is a tradition that began in the early days of Tel Aviv in 1912.
The Adloyada includes dancers, bands, orchestras and huge moving installations with puppets. The most famous and successful Adloyada is held in Holon, for the- 22 time.
Each year a theme is chosen for the major parade, this years parade was marked by “a Latin rhythm.”
Pashoshim staff came to cover the event and has returned with experiences – this year’s parade was made up from a crazy South American carnival atmosphere that combined giant installations, special performances from abroad, 4,500 dancers, bands, orchestras, theatrical street acrobatics, pyrotechnics and much more...
Each region in South America received representation on a moving stage with puppets and dancers. The parade began with the performance of a large Mexican wearing a huge sombrero, while in the background there was musical composition of Mexican musicians, an Inca temple and large cactuses. Afterwards came the 2 superstars of FC Barcelona; The Argentinian Messi and Niimar the Brazilian, as dolls of course. Later, we saw the amazing landscapes and rare animals of Latin America while they were deployed in the performance of the Galapagos Islands which was stuffed with giant lizards, iguanas and turtles.
נ
Another interesting exhibit was the performance of the world's Prime ministers - Benjamin Netanyahu, Angela Merkel, Barack Obama and Rychani participated in the parade.

Purim is one of the favorite Jewish holidays for kids. The holidays are filled with family time, some parents prepare together with their kids home made costumes, and others are picking out costumes with their kids at the costume's shop.
Here in Pashoshim we would like to offer you a great family activity for you and for your kids; making together Hamantaschens, or in its Hebrew name Ozney Haman. What is Hamantaschens you ask? Hamantaschen is a cookie in the Jewish cuisine that has been known for its three-cornered shape. This food is eaten during the Jewish Holiday of Purim. Preparing this cookie will serve as a perfect time for parents and their children to bond and have fun.
You can see a pick of the recipe on Chef David video.
Ingredients (four dozen)
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl mix oil, margarine and sugar, add orange juice and eggs. Mix all these ingredians well, then blend them with the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder and salt. Roll the mixture to a large ball and divide it to 4. Roll out each piece thinly at around 1/8 inch by using your floured board. With a cup or glass's rim (depanding on the size that you desire) cut the dough to circles. In the center of each circle put ½-2/3 tsp of filling.
Now, lift the left and the right sides of the circle and leave the bottom part down. They should meet just over the filling, lift the bottom side as well and make him meet the other 2 parts you lifted. Tighten each meeting point, you should get the shape of a triangle.
Preheat your oven with a temperature of 180 degrees. Brush the dough with a beaten egg, then place them on a greased cookie sheet and bake them all at 180 degrees for about 10-20 minutes (just before they turn brown).
You can replace the mohn with different fillings like chocolate, dates, nuts mixture or any other filling you like.

Hanukkah, Chanukah, whatever you choose to call it, the holiday is just around the corner! So come and tell your children about the miracles of Chanukah:
Many years ago, the Jewish people in Israel were ruled by the Hellenic king Antiochus. Antiochus ruled many countries, in order to strengthen his kingdom he demanded that all of them will worship the same gods, the Greek gods. The Jewish people tried to resist and made the king very angry. He forbid the Jews to read the Torah and pray for their god. It became illegal to worship the Sabbath and celebrate the Jewish holidays. He built alters for the Greek gods inside the Jewish temples and forces them to make sacrifices to the Greek gods. The Hellenic soldiers were sent to enforce the new rules and the Jews had no choice but to obey.
Small groups of Jewish people started to organize and decided to do something to stop the cruel king Antiochus. In Modi'in the holy priest, Mattathias, and his five sons established a small army and run to the hills outside Jerusalem to escape. They were known as the Maccabees, they were led by one of Mattathias' sons, Judah, which was chosen by his father. They fought the Hellenic soldiers for a long time, until on the 25th of Kislev they won and throw the Hellenics out!
To celebrate the great victory the happy Jews rushed to the Tample. They got rid of all the Greek characteristic and started to look for the Menorah so they can relight the Temple as symbol that they were back. They seek for oil but they could only find enough oil for one day. They lit up the menorah, pray to God and thanked him for saving them. Instead of one day, the Menorah stayed lighted for eight whole days! That was a real miracle!
And ever since, to honor the Maccabees and the miracle, Jewish people all over the world celebrate Chanukah on the 25th of the Jewish month Kislev. Each night they light a Menorah and adding another candle in every passing day, they spin dreidels and eat special Chanukkah foods.
