Different Aspects of Jewish Reality
Karin Paley is an Argentinian educator and a singer. She was one of the pillars of Beit-El community in Buenos Aires and is a pedagogic director at AMIA, the umbrella organization of Argentinian Jewry.
Listen to Karin Paley singing "Katonti", accompanied by Ruthy Osatnik and Guido Bergman, and open a window to the vibrant Jewish life in Latin America.
Read and think about the ancient words: I am unworthy of all the kindness and truth that You have shown Your servant: with my cane alone I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps (Genesis, 32:11).
קָטֹנְתִּי מִכֹּל הַחֲסָדִים וּמִכָּל הָאֱמֶת אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ אֶת עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי בְמַקְלִי עָבַרְתִּי אֶת הַיַּרְדֵּן הַזֶּה וְעַתָּה הָיִיתִי לִשְׁנֵי מַחֲנוֹת (בראשית, ל"ב, י"א)
