Count Down to the End

Shavuot is coming!

If I'm not mistaken, this holiday will begin Tuesday night and Wednesday day. (here the "day" begins at the night before) Anyway dear readers, before delving into Shavuot, some brief words about time:

By most countries time is marked with time lines such as this example:



In Judaism time is more seen as spiral.



And if you position the spiral just so, you should be able to see all the May 13s that have ever happened in time, or all the March 28s, or whatever date you position the spiral on.

Shavuot is the time long ago that the Torah was given. It is a propituous time for praying and asking God for whatever-a portal is being opened. Take the hint. Ask for your needs.

Speaking of time, I think the time has finally come to close this blog.

I want to thank all the readers who came, all the commenters, all the 'regulars' and especially those who were around from since the Live from Israel blog was going.

I am going to officially stop blogging on Shavuot (so I'll cram a few posts in, like a care package to you, my dear readers, so I won't feel like I'm just leaving you out in the cold.)

I'll still be commenting on other blogs. I'll be peddling my kid's book, hope that goes well. Its not so much for profit. The sages say the world stands on three things:

Torah (instructions), prayers, and acts of kindness. (this is from Book 1 of Pirke Avot)

Well, I'm trying to create a world. And so my first act is prayer and now this act of kindness -hence the children's book. Its about a Jewish Balloon family and the main heroine is a little dark skinned balloon girl who learns about God, mitzvot (religious duties), etc.

Anyway, thanks so much for reading my blog. I really love you all!!!
