“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” C.S Lewis, a British scholar and novelist.

 Letter from the Editors:

As stated in the quotation by C.S . Lewis, literature not only describes reality but also adds to it, literature is more than a language, it introduces us to a new world, full of experiences such tragedy, magic, romance and mystery.

Literature help us to learn more about human nature, it makes us back ground into the past, and to learn how our antecessors built magnificent structures, their believes and costumes, or instead of that, we can travel to the future, experimenting  through our imagination a mechanic world, full of robots, and incredible machines.

Thousands of writers had changed the readers mind with their literature master pieces, thousands of them had plant the seed of curiosity and had given wings to our dreams.

The TikumOlam isan example of how we want to contribute to this change , it contains a lot of useful resources where we can learn to develop our imagination and refresh ourselves with the fresh perfume of creativity.

The word TikumOlam is a Hebrew phrase that means “reparing the world” or “healing and restoring the world” which suggest humanity’s shared responsibility with the creator to heal, repair and transform the world.

Definitely when we read we discover that literature can be the magical key to travel to any place at any time. It adds life to our bodies and help to change our lives through magical words.
