Shana Tovah and rain!


I believe I mentioned a few days ago that it was about a billion and a half degrees outside. That stinks. But I have beyond splendiferous news... The heavens opened up and released rain upon the land! The skies are clearer and the temperature is a lot more tollerable. The Jewish new year (which was just yesterday), Rosh Hashana marks the beginning of the agricultural calendar. These "early rains" are what prepares the soil and makes it prime for cultivation throughout the rest of the year. It is considered a blessing from God for His people who keep Torah.
