One of my most favorite places that I visited in Israel during my 2023 trip just happened to be the wilderness at Timna Park, which is found in the south-eastern part of Israel. While our Jewish ancestors traveled in the wilderness on the east side of many of the mountain ranges that are at Timna, one can really get a sense of what the 40 year wilderness wandering after the Exodus must have been like.

This Jewish poem of praise gives glory to Hashem by teaching us how to glean His righteousness through faithful observance of Torah and His mitzvot.

This Jewish Poem of Praise glorifies Hashem by teaching about how He chose to bring His Jewish Israelite people to glory, even though we are nothing more than dirt and stardust.

Be'er Sheva, when translated, means "well of sevens" or "well of oath." just as Abraham offered up 7 ewe lambs and Hashem offered up the ram in place of Isaac, so Be'er Sheva gives us hope in the future of promised eternal peace of Hashem. Like the groves planted by Abraham in Be'er Sheva, those who abide in Hashem and keep His mitzvot will blossom forth an abundance of good fruits of righteousness.

That one way is to live a life sanctified unto Hashem by living out His mitzvot daily. In so doing, we draw closer and closer each day to the highest reaches of aleph. The good news is: gentiles can grab the hems of the Jews and come with us too! If you unite yourself with the Jewish people and to Hashem by keeping Torah, you too can have a place in the eternal kingdom of Hashem. As it is written in Zechariah 8:20-23

The first act of creation was for Hashem to create His Aleph-Beit, which allowed Him to speak & therefore create all. From the first letter, aleph, to the last letter, tav, Hashem created the promises of shalom and salvation before He even spoke them into creation.

This first marriage of Adam and Eve is an embodiment of sorts of the relationship between Hashem and His chosen people—yay, His chosen Bride—Israel, the Jewish people and the Jewish Nation.

Animal sacrifices along with the light and life of Torah-abiding that distinguishes Hashem’s people from the rest of the world. In creation terms, that means the mirrored light of Hashem (day 4) and the animal sacrifices (day 5) separate the firstfruits (day 3) from the general population (day 6).
