Noam’s Necklace

Noam wakes up with a smile, ready for a fun day ahead. He loves playing soccer, climbing trees, and drawing superheroes in his spare time. Today, he decides to wear his special necklace to school. His necklace is a precious reminder of his family and his traditions.

At school, Noam feels happy and brave wearing his Star of David necklace. He knows that his necklace is important to him and his family. Some of his classmates look at it with curiosity while others did not understand its meaning. Noam listens quietly as questions are asked and feels a mix of excitement and nervousness.

During recess, a few children ask Noam many questions about his necklace. Some kids even make guesses that do not seem to show respect. Noam feels a bit confused when he does not know how to answer all the questions. He begins to feel unsure about sharing his special story.

After school, Noam talks with his family about what happened. His family tells him that his necklace is a symbol of his heritage and his pride. They remind him that he can decide how to share his story with others and that it is okay to be proud. Noam leaves that day feeling strong and ready to answer more questions with confidence.
