Dear Teachers, as a year begins, We place this book within your hands— A gift of faith, a seed of song, Whose flowering reaches distant lands. Ushiru—“It’s My Life’s Melody!” Begins with you: the ones who hear The music hidden in each child, And draw its quiet promise near. Emunah is the steady thread That holds when answers come apart; The knowledge we are not alone, A shelter built within the heart. “The righteous shall live by his faith”— May these few words take root and grow, Not only in the lessons taught, But in the care your students know. For children learn from how you pause, From how you greet a faltering try; You teach them they are worth the time, And help their trust reach toward the sky. A question welcomed without fear, A fresh beginning after wrong— These are the notes through which a child May find emunah’s lifelong song. May this small book renew your strength For all the unseen good you do; May every page bring light and depth, And may that light return to you. Until our dear students can say, Through changing days, both dark and bright: “Emunah is my life’s melody— Hashem is with me, day and night.”
