master different fields of knowledge and to experience various cultures, so he
sent him to a far-off country...

To me, shofar sometimes sounds like Hashem's cry of pain caused by our misdeeds, like call for help from the Master of the burning palace.

The Shofar sends chills up and down my spine. When heard, it definately connects you to HaShem and makes you think all about Moshiach!
|
thank you!
so simple, just what i needed! shana tova
|
To me the shofar is the breathe of God on earth. His awesomeness!
|
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This is perfect for my essay i really appreciate it!!!
|
Why does this story have a happy ending when in fact we don't know who will live or die etc etc.
Confusing analogy!
|
Why do you use G-D instead of spelling out GOD??
|
Man is not allowed to know the day of his/her death. Perhaps it is G-d's way to remind us to live each day as if it were our last.
Ultimately all souls will return to the Source to be judged.
Here on this the lowest plane we only have the NOW to honor the King of the Universe with worthy deeds.
Shalom

We must live every day as if it's our last

Many think that the sound of the Shofar is piercing and harsh. But for me it's really is a beacon to return home for the warmth of my real home. By the time I arrive I will have forgotten why I ever left.

G-D in His great wisdom gives us so many chances and yet we will still carry on untill we have forgotten the presance of G-D but He never forgets us and all it takes is a cry to the Father ... How awesome is He

Thanks a lot! My father told me to read some stories about Rosh Hashanah, and I think that these parables are really nice!
|
G-d gave the Torah to Israel,he offered it first to all the nations of the world. They all refused, except the people of Israel. Where is this in scripture? Please explain. I see truth mixed with opinions and interpretations a lot. Thank you.

This tradition is found in the Sifri (Midrashic companion text) to Deuteronomy 33:2. In fact it is alluded to in the verse, where we read that "G-d came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran. He came with myriads of holy ones from the south, from his mountain slopes." The fact that so many other locations and nations are mentioned with Sinai is a reflection of G-d's having offered his covenant to them before finally coming to Sinai and giving the Torah to Israel.

Today is Rosh Hashanah may G-d grant us a new year with all our sins forgiven and have us inscribed for a year of goodness and life
