(140601) -- JERUSALEM, June 1, 2014 (Xinhua) -- Tzviel Noyman (L) and his brother Dudik Noyman assemble building blocks at their home in Beit Shemesh, about 20 km from Jerusalem, on May 30, 2014. Tzviel Noyman is an Israeli Ultra-Orthodox boy in a family with six children, three boys and three girls. He is ten years old this year and a grade three pupil of Torat Moshe elementary school, which is only opened to Jewish children. Tzviel has eight classes each day, including Hebrew, English, mathematics and Jewish religion, which has four classes each day including Talmud, Mishnah and Gemara. Tzviel likes the religion class best because he thinks that it is more interesting and more fascinating, and as he learns more, he becomes more curious about Jewish religion. In his mind, Jewish religion is amazing and it is the best religion in the world. Tzviel likes reading, riding bicycle and skateboarding. In his spare time, Tzviel prefers reading or playing with his brothers. During Sabbath, Tzviel goes to a synagogue with his family to pray and reads books when he is back home. When Tzviel was asked "what is your hobby and what do you do in your spare time and Sabbath", in his replies there were always "reading", which serves as the Israeli tradition all the time. There is no festival for children in Israel and Tzviel did not know International Children's Day on June 1. Tzviel knows China and he said that "China is a big country. Chinese have slanting eyes. And China has the fastest train in the world." When asked about the impression on Palestinians and secular people's complaints on the Orthodox Jewish people occupying the resources of public tax, Tzviel could not give an answer. Maybe the questions were more or less complicated for a ten-year-old boy, because his dream is only a huge Lego robot from parents. Some countries including China marked the International Children's Day on June 1, 2014. (Xinhua/Gil Cohen Magen)
