Greetings friends
We have a new moon approaching – the new moon of Virgo – ushering in the month of healing. It also marks the last month of the year, the only month with no holidays, so we can focus on what we need to do to prepare for the ten days of awe – Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur.
This week Moses presents highlights of the clean and unclean foods and a reader’s digest summary of the three gathering festivals – Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. Remember – Deuteronomy is the retelling of the law – the book of repetition of what we learned before, but there are always some changes. How do you know which to follow – especially when you are told – no adding, no subtracting? Have faith in how you choose to practice, and let no one criticize you. There is no right and wrong other than the right and wrong you, as an individual, let govern your soul.
Remember, the emphasis on this book is the words you use. Think of them. Be loving and kind, and appreciative in your choices. Your words have more meaning than you realize. Be careful with them. They have weight. They have gravitas. They have power – they are your superpower.
This week we begin to really notice there are additions and subtractions – but wait – weren’t we told there were to be none? And why are we told there have been none when we can see them?
How do you know? One of the great questions of time.
This week we see the choices of blessings will be carved on one mountain and curses on the other. The choice is yours. We perpetuate this bipolar world of this or that and miss the myriad of so much in between. Spend time in between.
This episode will be posted on our channel - click here to watch the Rabbi David Gellman Show in the 2023 cycle. And if you are one of the people this was sent to by a friend and want to receive it yourself, let me know, and I will add you to my mailing list.
Thank you all for allowing me into your homes, into your electronic devices, into your hearts – as you are all with me in mine.
Be well, be happy, be healthy, be free, be kind, be forgiving, be compassionate, be independent of mind and deed, be mindful of your intentions, and be good to yourself. Continue to celebrate freedom of choice in your life and do not give in to the fear which is so prevalent, and enjoy the peace that comes from acceptance – and as always - if you have any questions or suggestions or want to say “hi,” please send me an email. I love hearing from you.
And remember, anytime you do not want to receive these anymore, please send me an email so I can remove you. And know - that I truly appreciate your sharing your sacred time with me.
Enjoy and celebrate your life and the lives of others, and in doing, be safe, my friends, be happy, and may you all sow the seeds of and reap the rewards of peace and love and miracles and make sure you also celebrate your unique individuality and your incredible awesomeness.
Continue celebrating love; continue celebrating freedom; send renewal and goodwill out to everyone in the world – it is an energy that cannot be stopped - and remember – your world is what you make it. Just wish upon a star, continue to be a miracle in someone’s life, and light the light of love.
Blessings
