The world of the characters

Meet the friends

Each friend makes mistakes, asks questions, and brings a different kind of light.

Meir

The guide and lantern bearer

Meir leads with questions. He does not rush to give an answer—he helps everyone discover it.

The enthusiastic learner

Yoni thinks out loud, makes mistakes, meets the result, and finds the courage to try again.

The sharp question-asker

Yedidya pauses the group at exactly the right moment and asks the question nobody else has asked.

The joyful heart of the group

Noam brings music and laughter. His joy is not decoration—it often opens the way forward.

The quiet observer

David notices details, learns from actions, and shows how wisdom can be calm and kind.

The keeper of the lanterns

Rabbi Yosef carries deep wisdom, yet waits patiently for the children to discover the answer themselves.
