Take a moment to transport yourself, in your mind, to the Lion King’s Africa, and listen to The Circle of Life (I’ve linked to the Hebrew version – you can search for the English one yourself).
You may notice that in the song, the expression for the circle of life is גלגל החיים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מעגל-החיים-2.m4a” /] – literally, the wheel of life. The expression Israelis use to refer to the life cycle, however, is מעגל החיים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מעגל-החיים-1.m4a” /].
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/מעגל-החיים-3.m4a” /]בת מצווה, חתונה ,הלוויה, ברית מילה, כך זה מעגל החיים.
A Bat Mitzvah, a wedding, a funeral, a Brit (ritual circumcision), thus is the cycle of life.
