Ze yom She-ni! Ze TOV!!!!! I was reading this week's Torah portion: Vayikra 26: 3 - 5. It says (Complete Jewish Study Bible) "If you live by my regulations, observe my mitzvot and obey them; then I will provide the rain you need in its season, the land will yield its produce, and the trees in the field will yield their fruit. Your threshing time will extend until the grape harvest, and you grape harvesting will extend until the time for sowing seed. You will eat as much food as you want and live securely in your land.
Now...I'm not equipped yet to go into a "deep" discussion on this, but this really jumped out at me because we read practically the very same words in the prayers each morning just after the Shema.
We're not just supposed to read the prayers and then go about our day like nothing special happened. Hashem expects us to put ALL his words into practice in our daily lives. Daunting for someone like me who barely grew up in the church let alone understood any of it. I was well into my 50's before that started to happen. And now...23 years later, I'm learning from a whole new point of view. YIKES!!!! I'm still pretty p'shat, but, like with anything worth doing, if we keep at it, it WILL make sense.
Thanks for reading this and being a supportive family.
