On Yom Reeshon, 3rd March 2013,we as Western Cape
jurisdiction held our Yom L’mokereem celebration in Somerset West at the
Quaniel residence. Yom L’mokereem is a season in our community where we take
the time and effort to appreciate each other’s spirit and presence in our life through
a gift from the heart. It may be a poem, dance, present or any other form in
which one could feel loved and appreciated.

The previous week we each had to pick a name from a bunch to
reveal who we would appreciate at the celebration. This experience compelled us
to learn more about the person we would be appreciating, questions such as what
they liked or what did they needed the most
were constantly circulated to find the perfect gift. The probing game
added to the suspense which made the whole occasion fun, exciting and
enjoyable.

The programme included singing, games, exchange of gifts and
warm interaction amongst family. The food for the day was mouth watering and
wholesome – as usual. A special part of the programme was dedicated to twins
Yofieli and Yofiyah baht Quaniel who celebrated their 5th birthday.

The day left me with a lingering sense of nostalgia - taking
me back to 2008 when a beautiful soul blessed me with a craft she had made
especially for me including a heartfelt message. The words spoken had a deep
effect on my spiritual well-being to the point that it ensured that I always
strive for righteousness. May the bonds established and fortified be an eternal
source of inspiration.
