Gazing out the large sliding glass door of our lovely home in Tzfat, situated high upon a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Do you remember a pause in the wedding ceremony between the Groom giving Bride the ring and breaking the glass? It wasn&#8217;t just an excellent photo opportunity, the Ketubah (Marriage Agreement) was being read. If you&#8217;re like most folks, you haven&#8217;t chatted in Aramaic lately, making the Ketubah reading hard to follow. If you have an English translation the wording sounds very sweet but the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With us in the middle of the High Holy Days, I was particularly happy to get an email from a friend discussing the analogy that we draw between ourselves and our Master Craftsman. During the Yom Kippur services, we say, “Here we are, like silver in the hands of the Refiner….” It is also written in Malachi 3:3: &#8216;He will sit as a refiner and [...]]]></description>

We are told that the Moon and Sun were equal at the time of creation; however the Moon recognized difficulties and asked if two could both wear a crown. HaShem told her that she should go and make herself small. This is seen as a sign [...]]]></description>
