Israeli Autumn, A Poem

after the first rains
every drop
a gift from Gd

rebirth
new leaves
returns to life



branches for next year's fruit
bursting with color
before this year's is ripe for eating
multiple generations
like branches of loving family


promised by Gd to the Jewish People

Rosh Chodesh Kislev, Women's Prayers at Tel Shiloh

Every Rosh Chodesh a group of women come to Ancient Tel Shiloh to pray where the biblical Chana prayed thousands of years ago. Chana's successful prayer for a child is one of the most famous stories in the Bible. She promised Gd that if He gave her a son, she would return the child to Shiloh to serve Gd and the Jewish People. There was nothing selfish in her prayer.

In response Gd gave her a son, Shmuel Hanavi, Samuel the Prophet, who led the Jewish People after the High Priest Eli died. His great accomplishments included anointing the first two Jewish Kings, Saul and David.
