Shabbat Shalom ✡ "The Grapes of Your Vineyard"

When you pick the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean after you: it shall be for the stranger, the orphan and the widow.

DEUTERONOMY (24:21)
 

כִּי תִבְצֹר כַּרְמְךָ לֹא תְעוֹלֵל אַחֲרֶיךָ לַגֵּר לַיָּתוֹם וְלָאַלְמָנָה יִהְיֶה

דִּבְרֵים כד:כא

kee tiv-tzar kar-m'-kha lo t'-o-layl a-kha-re-kha la-gayr la-ya-tom v'-la-al-ma-na yi-h'-ye

Shabbat Inspiration

This week's Torah portion (Deut. 21:10-25:19) tells of the lush grape vineyards indigenous to the Land of Israel. In fact, grapes play a prominent role in Judaism for we begin our Shabbat meals and other rituals with a blessing over a cup of wine. The honored fruit can also teach us a vital life lesson answering an age old dilemma faced by religious thinkers, of how bad things can happen to good people. Just like grapes must be totally crushed in order to produce quality wine, it is through our trials and tribulations that we can reach our highest potential. Get more insight into the Bible with The Israel Bible: The Five Books of Moses, which collects the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

Ram's Horn Shofar

The significance of the shofar dates back to the dawn of Jewish history, and its call still echoes today in synagogues and temples all over the world. Playing an important role in the Bible, the shofar is a key part of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur, when it is played to mark the end of fasting. Shofars are also used to welcome Shabbat, and to announce the new year and the new moon. Only Shofarot Israel offers the skills and expertise of fifteen generations, dating back to 14th century Spain, and now adapted to the modern technology and requirements of present-day Israel and the international market.
