Poem: Rectify Our Prayer

Rectify Our Prayer

We have prayed with the sun and recited psalms with the moon and have never moved our lips with light. 

Rectify our prayers!

Who is the fire in light?

Who is the hand of life?

It is the Song of God. 

I hear the wind of many wings. She is coming! The one who sings the Song of God. 

Elijah rises up and announces: She descends, crying out to the very edge of the world, "Hear, Oh Israel..." 

How do they respond?

They cry out to her, "Sing us The Song of God!"

For if they do not cry out to her in this way she will not descend unto them. 

Who is the waves of love that encircle all worlds? 

Who is that Jew, the one begging outside the gates of Rome?

It is the Song of God, strong in grace, gently instilling faith.

Poem: Field of Trees

Field of Trees

A field of trees

High in the heavens

Plowed and made fertile

Prepared to yield

Fruits of holy ecstasy

For the long and gentle Sabbath

The prohibited bride

Is now the permitted wife

All the secrets of love

And all the secrets of life

Are now her own

And she is the gardener of the garden

And her trees produce in abundance

Her aura while she labored

Was worthy of life

Her radiance in her rest

Is her praise to her God

The Testimony of The Future Temple

The Testimony of the Future Temple to the Good News of Israel and Her Messiah

Ezekiel 37:15-27 The LORD will gather the children of Israel. Judah and Israel will be joined into one kingdom - never to be separated again, with one King - from the line of David (v.24). 

The Lord will then make an everlasting covenant of peace with those He has gathered (v.26). “My tabernacle also shall be with them; . . . The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, WHEN My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”

Danger and might are related to success and security in the Land of Israel...

Prov. 30:8
 As “danger and might” are related to success and security in the Land of Israel, we can see that there is a continuum of faith reaching from G-d’s provision for our daily needs on one end to atonement on the other end— as on Yom Kippur.  And we see that this continuum of faith in G-d's provision reaches to the ultimate redemption itself, as pointed to by the story of Purim. Along this whole continuum we desire the hand of G-d to not appear too lavish nor too severe in providing what we need, in order that our thanksgiving be perfect, without doubts and without confusion, directed entirely and only to G-d.

It is only through His blessings...

“It is only through His blessings, as our verse, (Prov. 10:22), says, that the land provides its fruits," (see linked title for this post).  Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum, (commenting on chapter 30 vs. 7-9), brings out that the understanding of this subject in chapter 30 is King Solomon speaking in his later years, when his wisdom has become the wisdom of repentance. Solomon prays, “Provide my needs so I will be neither poor nor rich, lest I become haughty and deny God or so poor that I steal, lie and take His name in vain.” How can we, together with All-Israel, learn the wisdom of this repentance, even if it only an hour out of our whole life time, where we completely trust G-d alone to provide all our needs body and soul? May the Land of Israel teach faith in G-d to all nations.

There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy...

I am reminded by the rabbi’s commentary above, (see linked title for this post), of the lyrics to a song that was popular in the 1960s. “There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy, and he did wander very far over land and sea”. At the end of his wandering, at the end of the song, we are told the greatest thing the boy ever learned was just to love and be loved in return. It seems that Cain never learned this repentance. The Jewish People, however, who also have wandered, have ceased to wander and may be well on the way to becoming an example to the nations of the lessons of repentance and love.
