Dip Your Apple In The Honey: It's Rosh Hashanah! And, as we begin a New Jewish Year, please remember - as Rabbi Adam Rosenbaum of Denver, CO; of Livingston, NJ; and now, once again, of Charleston, SC has taught us -
There is hope for the world.
There is hope for your life.
The way it is now is not the way it must be.
There is hope for your life.
The way it is now is not the way it must be.

Dip Your Apple!

Please don't feed babies honey.
===============================
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Abq Jew knows (and knows you know), are special times for our Jewish hearts, minds, and souls.
The Ein Prat Fountainheads have - as always! - touched our hearts. Now, here is something that will touch our minds and souls.

From My Jewish Learning's Perspectives on Avinu Malkenu:
Inscribe Us Five Times
“Our Father, our King, inscribe us in a book.”
The five petitions of “Inscribe us in a book” correspond to the Five Books of Moses.The first, “Inscribe us in the book of happy life” corresponds to the Book of Genesis, in which the creation of all things, meaning life, is spoken of.
The second, “Inscribe us in the book of redemption and salvation” corresponds to the Book of Exodus, which speaks of the redemption from Egypt.
“Inscribe us in the book of maintenance and sustenance” corresponds to the Book of Leviticus, which speaks of the holy sacrifices and thank-offerings, for the essence of sustenance must be in holiness.
“Inscribe us in the book of aiding merit” corresponds to the Book of Numbers, which speaks of the Twelve Tribes that camped near their standards, every tribe being a Chariot to its root, that is to say, to the patriarchs, because of whose aiding merit we are alive.
“Inscribe us in the book of forgiveness and pardon” corresponds to the Book of Deuteronomy, in which Moses our master upbraids Israel for all they did that was wrong, and which contains the scriptural portion of teshuvah (repentance), by means of which we merit forgiveness and pardon.– From Uziel Meisel’s “Tiferet Uziel.” Reprinted from S. Y. Agnon’s anthology “Days of Awe,” published by Schocken Books
And Abq Jew points you toward The Blogs of The Times of Israel, where -

- Jonathan Muskat has posted Rosh Hashana in the Shadow of Tragedy: Balancing Fear and Joy Amid Uncertainty.
L'Shana Tova Tikatevu –
May you be inscribed for a good year!
