‘White Diamonds In January’

Tzivos Hashem is running a worldwide competition for Jewish children to mark 30 years since the youth movement was established by the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

“The Power of Jewish Children” will feature entries from children from around the world, who will compete for prizes totaling $30,000 cash and a trip to New York.

Hand: A Performance Award for the best display of talent, such as a personally written story or poem, artwork, a comedy skit or playing a musical instrument.

Head: An Achievement Award for exceptional studies, researching and writing about something important or mastering a difficult concept.

I LAY DOWN

I lay down
In September on
A fresh green carpet

I lay down
In November on
Orange crunch

I lay down
In January on
White diamonds

I lay down
In March on
A cold green carpet

I lay down

In May on
Colors Ruining
The Beauty of them

I lay down
In July on
A green carpet
That is tickling my ears

I lay down
In September on
The same fresh green carpet
