Shana Tova!

 

Shana Tova!! Happy and Sweet Year 5783!

You crown the year with Your goodness.
Your wagon tracks drip with abundance.  Psalm 65:12

A round challah represents a crown!  

Today at sundown begins the appointed times of the Fall Feasts, beginning with the Feast  of Yom Teruah, and Rosh Hashanah.   We celebrate the crowning of the King and that He is master of all Creation!  A day the shofar is blown and we crown God as the King over our lives!!  As we also enter a new year 5783 since creation on the Hebrew civil calendar.

In-gathering from 4 corners!

The way it is woven together in 4 strands, the round challah also reminds me of the in-gathering of the Jewish people from the 4 corners of the earth.   We celebrate that in-gathering and when all nations will come to worship the King of Kings in Jerusalem!

I wanted to post a challah, as its been a long time!! As we are getting ready to enter into the Fall Feasts of the LORD, at Challah and Cherry Blossoms I  wish you a happy and sweet new year and joyous Fall Feasts and blessed Yom Teruah!! 

This is a day of celebration, a day of Salvation, a day to return fully and wholly to the LORD in a season of Teshuvah (Repentance and Return) and make Him King of your life from now and forevermore!!

Much Love, 

❤️

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in

  Isaiah 40:22

This verse too reminds me of the way the round shape represents the earth as we give glory to God the Creator and Master of the Universe!!  The Biblical name of the Feast that we enter into tonight is Yom Teruah!  Blow the trumpet in Zion and may we hear the shofar sound from wherever we are as our King is calling us to return from the four corners of the earth as He will be returning to Zion to be crowned as King over all the Earth!!

As much as I would like to express it in a challah, of course I cannot express all that I would like in a challah!! But I hope you will enjoy it with the sweetness of honey.

Chag Sameach!! Much Love!










Can you see how the weaving of the 4 strands can be seen to express the in-gathering from the 4 corners of the earth!!
