What words did you associate with the Shofar blowing on this new year Rosh Hashanah? Tishrei 5778. A call from a ram, an animal of grace and goodness, a Kosher animal that chews its cud and has cloven feet. The ram is not a predatory animal, does not eat meat, a vegan animal, fed the best of the greenest of good Godly grass.
Gardens still blooming, hot temperatures, flowers not withering, green vegetarian Mother Earth of soil, compost heaps in our backyards, jarring the veggies to save for the deep cold winter months.
Our hands in this soil, to nurture our plants, soil from the greenness of Mother Earth in between our fingernails, molding the soil around like clay pots, like an artist potter, forming a collar of goodness around the stem of a newly formed plant, keeping the plants firmly united with the dirt, dirt not being dirty dirt, instead being the nourishment from our Earth, Mother Earth.
Hands that become clean again after being soiled, hands even cleaner than they started out to be, clean hands clean hearts. Hands of generosity as your green produce is food, food for you, food for your family, 10% as charity for the poor.
