The guy on the radio said today "So everyone can take turns getting into the ZOO!"

(with their kids ...  ho ho ho)

 

So Rabbi Lasri reminded us today that "When the Messiah comes 

The Seder Night will be the beginning of 49 Days of Holiday!"

 

Okay - that brings us to the holiday of Shavuot - receiving the Torah.

 

The highlight of the Seder should be Bringing Holiness to our Table and Family - but sometimes it can be a little much ...

 

and the accent on food ...

Food - can be junk food - or can be Holy Kosher Food -

 

Making us Spiritually Strong like Lions!

 

So too in this portion we are taught about Moses and Aron setting up a HOLY SPACE -

the Tabernacle in the Desert - that lasted into about 400 years in Israel

 

And about HOLY FOOD -  Kosher Laws that have lasted 3000 years - to today -

 

when you can even get KOSHER FISH that tastes like unkosher fish

and KOSHER BEEF FRY that tastes like (ugh - Bacon?) ...

 

So Rabbi Lasri taught - WE NEED TO INTERNALIZE the torah

the Seder

the Jewish Ways 

- and that takes time - but can be 

 

Very Nourishing and Very Pleasant as we are taught

 

"its ways are ways of PLEASANTNESS" - worth the effort ...

 

Love from Israel

 

Shabbat Shalom
