Happy Willoween ! הושענא ע-רבה
אני יושבת בסוכה שלי, הרוח כבר הודפת את הדפנות, ומרשרשת בקישוטים, והשמש משחקת איתי באור וצל על המסך, דוחקת בי. חג הסוכות בשבילי הוא חג מתפתח ומתחדש. בילדותי, היו בו סוכה וארבע מינים, אבל מאז נוספו לו עוד רבדים, למשל, … Continue reading

The Ten Days of Repassion…. עשרת ימי תשוקה…

Countdown to Shmita…. מי אמר “שמיטה”….
The soon coming upon us year 5782 will be a shemitah year. How do we know? Divide the number of years by 7. If there is no remainder, then it is a shmitah year. I am a half-way-farmer… a city address and hands in … Continue reading
