A group of children was asked to answer the question, what is the Book of Psalms, and their answers were incredibly sweet: "I had it once, but I lost it," said one. "I don't know what that is," another child hesitantly answered and asked: "Is it in Arabic?"
"It's something holy used for prayer," another child replied.
"With very small letters," added another.
"Praying, standing and doing this—bows, all sorts of bows. And praying," a sweet girl responded while bowing forward and backward.
"I know who wrote the Book of Psalms," suddenly interjected a boy who seemed very knowledgeable, saying: "King David."
When asked by the content creator from 'Kan Be'haretsa' to whom people pray while reading Psalms, the children nearly unanimously answered: "Hashem."

"Hashem. He created only natural things first, Hashem, like this apple," said one while biting into a particularly juicy apple. "Then humans discovered everything we see around us: the lights, the camera, the microphone. Everything."

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of mockers," began a child whose age looked no more than six, and without hesitation, added: "But his desire is in the law of Hashem, and in His law he meditates day and night."

"In my heart, I ask for things I want to happen in the future," said one when asked about what he prays for. "Wishes," a girl added. "Red hair," mentioned another girl unflinchingly. More and more answers were added by the children:
"To fly to London."
"For us to have only good things—like so people won't bug us or curse us."
"Happiness, joy."
