"Shabbath Shalom"שבת-שלום" The Seed is Planted for Another Year!

The days have been long and the nights seem to find, the heaven that's gone has woke up to find, the heart of the G_ah_d, the heart of my Soul and I have but went to overload.  What makes me weep when I do go home.   Where do I go, when all is a storm.  There is one chance, the willing who dance, to make life again, the weeping of a bridge.  Why must I die, to come back to life?  Why must I gift to all those who lie?  Where do I go, when all do not know?  And when I go, there is sow much snow (crystalline stone river along the journey of life). 

The willing of per chance is my heart who dance.  And I will find my way, to overcome this day.  The heaven that comes home to find the paradise.  The place we seek out loud, but don't we seek within.  Now Shabbat (The seventh day is holy, a day of rest, the holy Shabbat  ' שבת-שלום) is here, the place many fear.  Now we go to heart, to judge us from the start.  What makes us rejoice to all those of choice?  What makes us yearn to promise land we earned?  I know it's you, the heaven and it's dew.  The heart of my life, belongs to heaven sent.  And I could climb rainbows when you are know from here, the place of the gardens where we can come home for sure.

This goes to speak my heart of plenty defeat, the place I hold my head, the place I long to keep.  When does the sun rise, come inside of me?  When does the sunrise find perfect company?  There in the darkness of heaven sent from above, we need to hold you, like a perfect cup of tea.  When does the sound of silence produce anything?  For I know that wisdom comes from loving and laughing again.  Don't keep me waiting, for I am here to speak.  Don't walk away from me, because I am the keeps.  The ordained from G_ah_d's wings, the Angels sent from above, I will be merciful, because G_ah_d did say.  I will be merciful, because my heart is Gold.  And I will live up to sin, because I will let it in.  I will embrace thee and I will bless your heart, because I love you, the smart (sting) that always comes.  You have a broken heart and let me mend it again.  Don't worry of yesterday, for we will put it away.  We will look upon the seeds tomorrow is the way.  We will plant mercy, to those who spring a leak. And we will climb mountains, to find the heart again, for we brothers, with sisters who long to be, hearts of pure Angels, who dance and sing again.

Can it be me my Lord, who has come to know the land?  Can it be me my love, who has come to know the land?  I want to be with thee, upon the Promised Land!  I want to be divine, sow my light will always shine.  For I am a Sun within, the place that always begins, the dreams of yesterday, for tears that always lead the way.  And my love has grown and grown, to be part of all the Stones, to be with humbleness upon the rolling hills.  Now today, I am on my way, to trust the dance of yesterday.  To be with you and me, to long to be in the view of the sea.  You and I can walk the way, to be part of yesterday.  I have my hand on you, to say, we are brotherhood.

Let us be strong again, like a woman who always defends, the heart of man and beast to make the best of me.  My mother she is the law, the Greatness forever without the flaws, of saying I turn away, because she is here to stay.  Great Spirit Mother longs to be with us in the Promised land, to guide her children pure, to  be with a loving tear.  And she is all we need to be sure of cleaving three, the reflection of all the days, to become loving hay (the golden path of growing from a seed).  Now Great Father has led the way of promised glory of the day, and we have come so far, to be on top of the jar.  The place that held us close, the place that kept the most, the glory of yesterday, learning to be slaves for the day.  Great Warriors we are learning to be, to follow our Parents law, the heavenly bodies who left the way, sow we would get home this day.  And now evolution is going to bring us home, to the days of yesterday, turned into dreams to stay.

Let us be free.........................................Let us know the breeze......................................Let us be loving ways, to bring the heart to stay.  My heart is pure inside, when I don't have alibies, sow I will plant the seeds of tomorrow with all it's needs.  Come home one and all, die and arise to see the fall, the rolling hills in time, that gift us ever time.  And we are here to be, the happy and the free, with abundance for everyone, to be the rising sun. Come take my hand............................Come walk the promise land...........................................Come and see what I can believe...............................the way freedom rings!

OU.ORG Presents  The Meaning of Rosh HaShanah

Rosh HaShanah is the day on which G-d created Man, Adam, G-d’s final and most precious creation. Each Rosh HaShanah, the birthday of Mankind, we proclaim G-d as our one and true King. We then reaffirm our desire to serve him every moment of our lives. At this same time, G-d reviews the status of his creation and determines if he or she merits another year in this world.

On the first night of Rosh HaShanah, after prayer services, a special greeting is used, which is only said on this night "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." On Rosh HaShanah, everyone is judged by G-d based on his or her actions during the previous year. The resulting judgment is inscribed by G-d and a person’s future is determined for the following year. Though that judgment is inscribed, it is not yet sealed and can still be changed at least for another ten days. G-d waits until Yom Kippur to seal the book for the year. 

How can a person change their judgment for the better? "Repentance, Prayer, and Charity can remove the bad decree." G-d looks especially at three areas during the time between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, the Ten Days of Repentance.  By doing teshuvah with true regret for the past and commitment for the future, a person can erase his misdeeds and hence improve his judgment before it is sealed on Yom Kippur. Similarly, by praying with greater concentration before G-d, and by giving charity with the proper spirit,  one can also upgrade one's status.



"Shabbath Shalom"שבת-שלום"

In Hebrew, a wish before and during the Saturday of the Peaceful Sabbath. This is the seventh day of the week for the Jewish calendar and even the Gregorian Calender that most of the world uses. Sabbath Saturday is a day of rest and reflection often used to offer prayer and ceremony.  A day of refreshing the soul to be free in the House of the winds.  This day begins on Friday at sundown and ending on Saturday evening when the three stars appear in the sky and can be viewed together. Three is the reflection of light, that brings us the illusion of time.  The reflection offers us the waves of rolling hills, to have a physical life upon the Earthly Realm, when our Souls descend to the place of Paradise. This motion is offered by the Moon, which reflects the light of the Sun every single day, along it trans-migratory route.

When a Wo/Man knows Shalom, they know peace within.  This is often used a general greeting for all time.  When you know peace, then you know the way into Heaven, where the Soul resides and we collide with Heaven and Earth.  This process is what we are all experiencing during this tumultuous times of evolution when all things seems topsy-turvy (state of confusion), or upside down. We are learning to pour forth our roots of heaven down into the valley of Golden Dreams, our Paradise, we call Home (Earth).


We are coming to an end of our 10 days of prayer, when the Yom Teruah (the day of shouting) began, often called Rosh Hashanah or New years.  But this is not really new years, but the second annual harvesting of the crops begin and the new seed is planted.  We learn to die within, with a river of tears, like the crop dies to provide us with sustenance.  Then we learn to pray and pray and sing our hearts in joy, by migrating from shouting to ringing the bells to playing the trumpet all to learn about the soul's migration from death to arising to be born again in spirit.  This is the time of rejuvenation or transformation of our Souls journey into the light from darkness or a time of reflection of the waves of our breath.  The moon and the sun have our hearts entwined and we are learning to become the G_ah_d (whole as we learn to utter heaven's voice) within us all, as the winds of all our brothers and sisters glide through us as we journey inside the house of the beloved (STAR of DAVID).

We learned that we are the house of four sides, with two sides that go to and fro. This migratory action flows along the Crystalline (Star of David as all crystals have this shape and the strength of Oneness that aligns inside and outside) stone river of our souls darkness and our rainbow colors of lights. The house stands with four sacred directions and the wind blows in two directions, the heart that motions up and down as we swell with pain and grief and joy and happiness bringing us tears of knowing with days of showing how to act kindly and with wisdom, the hand of G_ah_d. Having compassion upon those who do not know of prayer, and to teach others the necessary steps to guide them along the trail of rolling hills of sacredness, the strength of a fortified house of the beloved which lies within you.  We are part of this song, the song where Angels do sing along the rushing river.  And we are the very Angels G_ah_d has sent home to bring life again, to the heavenly realm below.  To refresh the soul is the guiding factor to the rising sun within.  When we pray and have ceremony and celebrate the passing days to remember we belong together and forever we are ONE.

Today is the last day of our 10 days of prayer and we can find solace in those who have joined us to know "Shabbath Shalom"שבת-שלום", the sacred days of peace.  Come home to the rising sun within, to shine forever and a day.  The eternal flowing of G_ah_d.

Yom Teruah, the Day of Shouting


I come to you, to be the  blue, the heart of all of man who sings.  We are a part of every heart who comes to know the blue.  Take my hand and walk with me. I will be with eternity. Don't you see the way of free, when love walks inside of me. 

Tell the world that we have come, to shout out loud to everyone. And I will sing for joy again, when I learn how to begin.  The song of love is destiny, the way of freedom that longs to be, and I can see the world of love, when you come home to be a dove.

I want to be like all the seeds, that planted glory in the world, and I will sing again for me, when G_ah_d comes home to bring the seeds.  The glory of living days in me, the song of love and liberty. I will be free to know the breeze, when I come home to shout, "It's me!"

Loving you, is where we go, to open shores for all to know, and I will be the love of me (remember you shouted, it's me, in other words you love me, because I am loved), when you come home to see the trees.  The love of you, comes in many packages, the gifts of G_ah_d will be so true, and I will have my heart to long, to be in love with you so long. 

Where do we go?  I truly don't know, but we must trust the world of love.  And when we shout, "glory be", then all will come home to destiny.  We don't do this or don't do that, because we don't think we are fact. But if we choose to love again, then all the facts are here to win.

Not you or me, but loving thee, the Oneness, the beloved tree.  And we can be the heart of me, when we come home to set them free.  Reach out, my friend choose family.  Take your heart and glow with thee.  And I will know the way to Gold, when you choose love, to be with me!

Yom Teruah
How the Day of Shouting Became Rosh Hashanah

by Nehemia Gordon

On the 1st day of the Seventh month (Tishrei) the Torah commands us to observe the holy day of Yom Teruah which means “Day of Shouting” (Lev 23:23-25; Nu 29:1-6). Yom Teruah is a day of rest on which work is forbidden. One of the unique things about Yom Teruah is that the Torah does not say what the purpose of this holy day is. The Torah gives at least one reason for all the other holy days and two reasons for some. The Feast of Matzot (Unleavened Bread) commemorates the Exodus from Egypt but it is also a celebration of the beginning of the barley harvest (Exodus 23:15; Lev 23:4–14). The Feast of Shavuot (Weeks) is a celebration of the wheat harvest (Ex 23:16; 34:22). Yom Ha-Kippurim is a national day of atonement as described in great detail in Leviticus 16. Finally the Feast of Sukkot (Booths) commemorates the wandering of the Israelites in the desert but it is also a celebration of the ingathering of agricultural produce (Ex 23:16). In contrast to all these Torah festivals, Yom Teruah has no clear purpose other than that we are commended to rest on this day.

The name of Yom Teruah may provide a clue as to its purpose. Teruah literally means to make a loud noise. This word can describe the noise made by a trumpet but it also describes the noise made by a large gathering of people shouting in unison (Nu 10:5–6). For example,

“And it shall come to pass when the ram’s horn makes a long blast, when you hear the sound of the shofar, the entire nation will shout a great shout, and the wall of the city shall fall in its place, and the people shall go up as one man against it.” (Joshua 6:5)

In this verse the word “shout” appears twice, once as the verb form of Teruah and a second time as the noun form of Teruah. Although this verse mentions the sound of the shofar (ram’s horn), the two instances of Teruah both refer to the shouting in unison of the Israelites which was followed by the fall of the walls of Jericho.

While the Torah does not explicitly tell us the purpose of Yom Teruah its name may indicate that it is intended as a day of public prayer. The verb form of Teruah often refers to the noise made by a gathering of the faithful calling out to the Almighty in unison. For example:

    *      “Clap hands, all nations, shout to God, with a singing voice!” (Ps 47:2)
    *      “Shout to God, all the earth!” (Ps 66:1)
    *      “Sing to God, our strength, shout to the God of Jacob!” (Ps 81:2)
    *      “Shout to YHVH, all the earth!” (Ps 100:1)

In Lev 23:24, Yom Teruah is also referred to as Zichron Teruah. The word Zichron is sometimes translated as “memorial” but this Hebrew word also has the meaning of “mentioning” often in reference to speaking the name of YHVH (e.g. Ex 3:15; Isa 12:4; ; 26:13; Ps 45:18). The day of Zichron Teruah, the “Mentioning Shout”, may refer to a day of gathering in public prayer in which the crowd of the faithful shouts the name of YHVH in unison.

Today few people remember the biblical name of Yom Teruah and instead it is widely known as "Rosh Hashanah" which literally means “head of the year” and hence also “New Years”. The transformation of Yom Teruah (Day of Shouting) into Rosh Hashanah (New Years) is the result of pagan Babylonian influence upon the Jewish nation. The first stage in the transformation was the adoption of the Babylonian month names. In the Torah the months are numbered as First Month, Second Month, Third Month, etc (Leviticus 23; Numbers 28). During their sojourn in Babylonia our ancestors began to use the pagan Babylonian month names, a fact readily admitted in the Talmud:

“The names of the months came up with them from Babylonia.” (Jerusalem Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 1:2 56d)

The pagan nature of the Babylonian month names is epitomized by the fourth month known as Tammuz. In the Babylonian religion Tammuz was the god of grain whose annual death and resurrection brought fertility to the world. In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet described a journey to Jerusalem in which he saw the Jewish women sitting in the Temple “weeping over Tammuz” (Ezekiel 8:14). The reason they were weeping over Tammuz is that according to Babylonian mythology Tammuz had been slain but had not yet been resurrected. In ancient Babylonia the time for weeping over Tammuz was the early summer, when the rains cease throughout the Middle East and green vegetation is burnt by the unrelenting sun. To this day the Fourth Month in the rabbinical calendar is known as the month of Tammuz and it is still a time for weeping and mourning.

Some of the Babylonian month names found their way into the later books of the Tanakh, but they always appear alongside the Torah month names. For example, Esther 3:7 says:

“In the First Month, which is the month of Nissan, in the twelfth year of King Achashverosh.”

This verse starts off by giving the Torah name for the month (“First Month”) and then translates this month into its pagan equivalent (“which is the month of Nissan”). By the time of Esther all the Jews lived within the boundaries of the Persian Empire and the Persians had adopted the Babylonian calendar for the civil administration of their Empire. At first the Jews used these Babylonian month names alongside the Torah month names but over time the Torah month names fell into disuse.

As the Jewish People became more comfortable with the Babylonian month names they became more susceptible to other Babylonian influences. This is similar to the way the American Jewish observance of Channukah has been influenced by Christmas. This influence began with the seemingly harmless custom of giving gifts on Channukah. Until the Jews arrived in America this custom was unknown and it is still a rarity in Israel where Channukah does not need to compete with Christmas for the hearts and minds of the Jewish youth. Once Channukah took on this relatively trivial aspect of Christmas it became ripe for more significant influences. Today many Jews have established the custom of setting up a “Channukah bush” as a Jewish alternative to the Christmas tree. These Jews did not want to adopt Christmas outright so they “Judaized” the Christmas tree and incorporated into Channukah. This example shows how easy it is to be influenced by the practices of a foreign religion, especially when there is some similarity to begin with. The fact that Channukah often falls out around the same time as Christmas made facilitated the American Jews in incorporating elements of Christmas into their observance of Channukah.

Just as the Jews of America have been influenced by Christmas the ancient Rabbis were influenced by the pagan Babylonian religion. Although many Jews returned to Judea when the Exile officially ended in 516 BCE, the forebears of the Rabbis remained behind in Babylonia where rabbinical Judaism gradually took shape. Many of the earliest known Rabbis such as Hillel I were born and educated in Babylonia. Indeed Babylonia remained the heartland of Rabbinical Judaism until the fall of the Gaonate in the 11th Century CE. The Babylonian Talmud abounds with the influences of Babylonian paganism. Indeed, pagan deities even appear in the Talmud recycled as genuine angels and demons.1

One field of Babylonian religious influence was in the observance of Yom Teruah as a New Years celebration. From very early times the Babylonians had a lunar-solar calendar very similar to the biblical calendar. The result was that Yom Teruah often fell out on the same day as the Babylonian New Years festival known as “Akitu”. Akitu fell out on the 1st day of Tishrei which coincided with Yom Teruah on the 1st day of the Seventh Month. The fact that the Jews had started calling the Seventh Month by the Babylonian name Tishrei paved the way for turning Yom Teruah into a Jewish Akitu. At the same time the Rabbis did not want to adopt Akitu outright so they Judaized it by changing the name of Yom Teruah (Day of Shouting) to Rosh Hashanah (New Years). The fact that the Torah did not give a reason for Yom Teruah no doubt made it easier for the Rabbis to proclaim it the Jewish New Years.

It may seem bizarre to celebrate Yom Teruah as New Years considering that it falls out on the first day of the Seventh Month, but in the context of the Babylonian culture this was perfectly natural. The Babylonians actually celebrated Akitu, New Years, twice every year, once on the first of Tishrei and again six months later on the first of Nissan. The first Babylonian Akitu celebration coincided with Yom Teruah and the second Akitu coincided with the actual New Years in the Torah on the first day of the First Month. While the Rabbis proclaimed Yom Teruah to be New Years they readily admitted that the 1st day of the “First Month” in the Torah was, as its name implied, also a New Years. They could hardly deny this based on Exodus 12:2 which says:

“This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it is first of the months of the year.”

The context of this verse speaks about the celebration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which falls out in the First Month. In light of this verse the Rabbis could not deny that the first day of the First Month was a biblical New Years. But in the cultural context of Babylonia where Akitu was celebrated as New Years twice a year, it made perfect sense that Yom Teruah could be a second New Years even though it was in the Seventh Month.

In contrast to Babylonian paganism, the Torah does not say or imply that Yom Teruah has anything to do with New Years. On the contrary, the Feast of Sukkot (Booths) which takes place exactly two weeks after Yom Teruah is referred to in one verse as “the going out of the year” (Ex 23:16). No one would ever call January 15 in the modern Western calendar “the going out of the year” and the Torah would not describe Sukkot in this manner if it intended Yom Teruah to be celebrated as a New Years.

Some modern Rabbis have argued that Yom Teruah is actually referred to as Rosh Hashanah in Ezekiel 40:1 which describes a vision that the prophet had, “At the beginning of the year (Rosh Hashanah) on the tenth of the month”. The fact that Ezekiel 40:1 refers to the tenth day of the month proves that in this context Rosh Hashanah could not mean “New Years”. Instead it must retain its literal sense of “the head of the year” referring to the First Month in the Torah calendar. Therefore, the 10th day of Rosh Hashanah in Ezekiel 40:1 must refers to the 10th day of the First Month.

Yom Teruah is mentioned in the following biblical passages:

    *      Lev 23:23-25 "And YHVH spoke unto Moses saying, Speak to the Children of Israel saying, In the Seventh month on the first of the month will be a day of rest (Shabbaton) for you, a Remembrance Shouting, a holy convocation. You shall do no work and you will bring a fire sacrifice to YHVH."
    *      Nu 29:1-6 "And in the Seventh month on the first of the month will be a holy convocation for you; you shall do no work, it will be a Day of Shouting for you. [List of Sacrifices for Yom Teruah]."

Yom Teruah FAQ

Q: What about Leviticus 25:9?

A: Some people have argued that Yom Teruah should be considered New Years because it is the beginning of the Sabbatical year. However, the Torah does not say that Yom Teruah is the beginning of the Sabbatical year and all indications are that the Sabbatical year begins on the 1st day of the First Month. The Torah does say the following:

“And you shall pass a shofar of blasting in the Seventh Month on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you shall pass a shofar throughout all your land.” (Lev 25:9)

This verse is saying that a shofar should be used to announce the arrival of the Jubilee year, the 50th year in the Sabbatical system. It does not say that the Jubilee begins on the Day of Atonement only that the impending arrival of the Jubilee year is announced on the Day of Atonement. Indeed the shofar may be passed through the land on Yom Kippur of the 49th year, six months before the beginning of the coming Jubilee year. This interpretation is supported by the immediate context in Leviticus 25. Verse 8 says to count forty nine years, verse 9 says to pass the shofar throughout the land, and verse 10 says to proclaim the 50th year as the Jubilee. This shows that the shofar announcing the coming Jubilee in verse 9 is passed through the land before the Jubilee is actually proclaimed in verse 10.

Q: Isn’t the Seventh Month the beginning of the agricultural cycle?

A: In the Torah the middle of the Seventh Month is actually the end of the agriculture cycle, specifically of the grain cycle. In the Land of Israel, grains are planted in Autumn and harvested in Spring. The new agricultural cycle would not actually begin until the plowing of the fields. This would not take place until the first light rains which moisten the ground enough to be broken by iron and wooden plows. In the Land of Israel this could be as early as the middle of the Seventh Month but is usually in the Eighth Month or later. By the above logic the Eighth Month should be considered the beginning of the year, not the Seventh Month.

1 Zvi Cahn, The Rise of the Karaite Sect, New York 1937, pages 98–101. Cahn’s central thesis is that the refusal of rabbinical leaders to repudiate the deep-rooted Babylonian paganism that had infiltrated Babylonian Judaism led to the rise of the Karaite back-to-the-Bible movement in the early Middle Ages. In this context Cahn gives a detailed list of various pagan influences in rabbinical Judaism. http://www.karaite-korner.org/yom_teruah.shtml



Relatives,
We need remember when we shout, we sing our hearts.  We hold our emotions up to G_ah_d, the voice of heaven speaks.  In anger we let ourselves speak up, when at other times we would do nothing.  This is the joy of our hearts when we let it out.  But the most difficult time is when others won't let our hearts sing in tears and pain, for this release let us be free.  We are looking for validation to what went wrong.  When our hearts are embraced, then we can work things out.  But if we don't show anger or tears, then we refuse our heart, the very voice of heaven, the tears that flow to know the heart's message, that we need love.  


Listen and receive others in a time of solemn prayer  with loud and blasting of the shofar or just if we need our Voice to ring.  Let the bells of ringing, sow we can plant the seeds of freedom to the world.  We have come home, to the Soul that rings FREEDOM.  Let our pain be our guide to wisdom, not our demise to hell, the living suffering we seem to choose.  Let us choose this form to be a release of pain, and a renewal to resolve.  To listen to others who bring us pain and suffering.  To allow them to scream their agonies and for us to embrace them with love, and when it's all done.  Speak your heart too.  Then when we can receive our Brothers and Sisters, we can know freedom to negotiate and renegotiation to the world.


Let us belt our voices and ring freedom. In a time of prayer we learn to descend into peril and emerge anew.  Yom Teruah is our Heavenly Shouting where Angels sing just as we enter heaven, and as we depart to become anew, we sing to the glory of Oneness we call G_ah_d.  Let us renew the Cosmos and bring the Kings of Righteousness to their stations of humbleness where we kiss the dust, to arise into hope and inspiration. This is a time of creation and regeneration. Let us shout and be loud, for HEAVEN is coming home to the Rolling Hills in Evolution.  Welcome to the "DAWNING".

Rosh Hashanah (Happy New Year), Yom Ha-Zikkaron,Yom Teruah, For the Rushing Winds, the Heart Bellows Again!


Rosh Hashanah
 Rosh Hashanah (in Hebrew) 

"Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is One" 



Torah comes from the word horo'ah which means guidance for life. Sing Glory to the House of Winds! We are going Home! Shiloh we are on our way!

Leviticus 23, 24 & 25: And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.


Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset Tishri 1 which is September 18, 2009, 6:41 PM Jerusalem time For your local time add one minute to the following chart.

Sep 19 Tishri 1 Rosh Hashana - the heart shall sound it's trumpet (freedom) and you shall offer a blessing with the fire. The sacrament of the heart filled jubilee as a new year begins on the 7th month. We walk to flowing waters on this day (tears of joy and sorrow of the rainbow filled sky) and gift giving (Tashlikh-casting off sins) helps us to receive love from our Relatives, just as our Sisters express this wisdom each day teaching us about the Law of Love, "a good heart". For when the heart is gifting glory, there shall be no work but joy filled days! This is the very receiving our True Blue (relatives) create as sacred space of the Crown of Holiness, for this is the returning to King David and his Royal Brothers. As Oneness, we are reminded of the eternal circle on the journey of rolling hills upon Mother's Earth. We remember the the bounty she provides and the goodness of a pureheart.

We celebrate eating apples dipped in honey. A yearning of sweetness of flower blossoms that come again. Our hearts are full when the flesh of our bodies remember the soul within, where the tears of joy gift to us love! Often blessed round loaves of sweet challah bread is used to symbolize the circle of life and yearning of a joyous new year. From where we came the eternal numinous flowing of heaven, our Souls do return. This holiday is the most important "teshuvah" or the "turning around". When we walk back into the arms of those whom we disagree, we become better children of God, living closer to empathy, astuteness and hearing with our hearts.

Our souls from heaven utter their perfection and receiving our family is what the returning joy is about. This is Truth of the Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy, who shall be questing eternal knowing as we belong together as Oneness. "Near is known which does flow, when the heart is shown and spoken for." In the East and the Return the holy circle 70 is known, the voice of God delivers us Home. Gift greetings "L'shanh tovah", meaning "for a good year to hear the wind". The eternal soul is all knowing in the Great Halls, when the sound of our hearts are shared! Let the trumpet blow, "We are going Home. What are we waiting for?" Let the Dawning find my Wind and let it blow across the Blue that's true, to be the Heart of me and you. My Relatives, let's go home! The Dawning Welcomes You!

He-nay ma tov u-ma na-im, Sheh-vet a-khim gam ya-khad
He-nay ma tov u-ma na-im, Sheh-vet a-khim gam ya-khad.


Leader: Behold how good and pleasant it is for us to come together in unity and peace.  

All:Although there is cruelty and injustice, we must bring compassion and harmony.  
Leader: Although there is intolerance, we must work toward peace, acceptance and understanding. All: Although there is prejudice, we must work toward cooperation and compromise.  
Leader: We must strive toward dignity for all. We dream of peace. We must move toward peace. 
All: We must not lose our dream. We must not give up our striving.

The name "Rosh Hashanah" is not used in the Bible to discuss this holiday. The Bible refers to the holiday as Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the day of remembrance) or Yom Teruah (the day of the sounding of the shofar). The holiday is instituted in Leviticus 23:24-25.


Shofar: Click to hear it blow!The shofar is a ram's horn which is blown somewhat like a trumpet. One of the most important observances of this holiday is hearing the sounding of the shofar in the synagogue. A total of 100 notes are sounded each day. There are four different types of shofar notes: tekiah, a 3 second sustained note; shevarim, three 1-second notes rising in tone, teruah, a series of short, staccato notes extending over a period of about 3 seconds; and tekiah gedolah (literally, "big tekiah"), the final blast in a set, which lasts (I think) 10 seconds minimum. Click the shofar above to hear an approximation of the sound of Tekiah Shevarim-Teruah Tekiah. The Bible gives no specific reason for this practice.  The shofar is not blown if the holiday falls on Shabbat. http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday2.htm



For the Rushing Winds, the heart bellows again!
Today I gift my heart away, to the souls of yesterday, for all they suffered into the wind, my heart remembers what they said.  Hashanah, is going to be, the blessed beloved tree, and we will be there when we breath new life into all that believes.  We are the heart of everyone, the heaven the stores of G_ah_d's pure love.  And bounty comes this time of year to remind us of all of what's above.  Now we are here to be with G_ah_d, because it's time to be out loud. To speak of wisdom and clouds of love, within our heartbeat, within our doves (peace).  

Now Yom Ha-zikaron is here to help us bleed, to write a story of yesterday and blow it in the wind.  We sing out loud for everyone to know of G_ah_d again.  There is only one house we long, and it's the House of G_ah_d.  Tell your children of the day, that we are going home, for all we suffered in the past offers rivers of the loved, and we will be the chosen ones who walk with love inside our heart, when we remember who we are, the Angels G_ah_d sent home.

And in a time when recollection has been gone, we pray to the wind, that we remember who we are, and listen to the wind.  It's time for Yom Teruah, to singing of the Doves, and we can bellow out true love when we walk above.  And down below where the rivers flow, the stream of tears that flow, we offer to the salvation to the song of love we long.  We are going to be One, the family that longs to hear, the voices of Angels that sing in the Spring, the new beginning has offered us, the Fall where abundance grows.  And our heart will sing again, because we know.  


Miracles abound each day, when Rosh Hashanah blows in the wind, forever and a day has come to begin a new Dawning.  Shiloh open your gates to flood and wish upon a star, for David is coming home, to put the end of war.  And we are going to lead the way, into a new day, for the hearts will sing of love again, when relatives lead the way.  Listen to the wind.  Listen to the tears.  Listen to the dance within, that sings and bellows wind.  Come home my children and walk with me, the Great Spirits lead, and we are little children who come home to believe.  And prayer has led us this far and we are going to stand our ground, with love and righteousness will bring the falling of pure love. Let it rain, the stars that dance the shooting of lights everywhere, like inside our hearts that are filled with wisdom and pale moonlight.  Hold onto the rushing moon and wait upon the stars, for Heaven is calling us home, to be here when she falls (from Heaven).

Exe 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the win, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind. Thus saith the Lord G_ah_d; come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live again!


Eze 37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, and exceeding great army. 

The House of the Beloved, the Star of David has come home, to rise such an army, the Army of G_ah_d, the Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy Arise!
