Fun at Grandma Sadie’s: A Rosh Hashanah Story

Rosh Hashanah, which translates to “head of the year,” stands as a profoundly sacred occasion among the Jewish people. Serving as the Jewish New Year, it holds a special place in the hearts of the community. Falling on the first and second days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (September/October), Rosh Hashanah holds a dual significance, marking not only the commencement of a new year but also celebrating the creation of the world.

It’s important to note that Rosh Hashanah greatly differs from the secular festivities of New Year’s Day in January. Instead of parties, fireworks, or games, Rosh Hashanah is a time of introspection, deep thought, and self-assessment. The customs and rituals associated with this occasion are deliberately crafted to foster contemplation and reflection, guiding individuals to evaluate their lives, conduct, and choices.

Queen Esther’s Big Secret is based on the story told in the Scroll of Esther.
The Scroll of Esther, known as the Megillah or Megillat Esther is read on Purim in synagogues around the world. It commemorates the events of the days during which Haman’s plot to eliminate the Jews of Persia was met by the heroic deeds of Queen Esther, the Jewish heroine who saved her people.

More about the letter DALET

The Hebrew letter Dalet (ד) is the fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, carrying a numerical value of 4. It is pronounced as the “d” sound in English, as in the word “door.”
Dalet has symbolic significance in various contexts. The letter’s shape, resembling an open door, reinforces its association with doorways and passages, new beginnings, opportunities, and possibilities. It is a letter associated with transition and transformation, signifying movement from one state to another.

Moreover, Dalet is associated with the concept of choice. When standing before a doorway, one can pass through or remain where they are. The Dalet serves as a reminder of individuals’ power to shape their destiny.

In the Hebrew Bible, the Dalet is linked to the fourth day of creation when God created the sun, moon, and stars. This connection symbolizes the emergence of new light and order in the world.

Introducing the GIMEL

From: https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/10/07/gimel

1. GIMEL is the third letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
2. The numerical value of GIMEL is 3
3. In modern Hebrew, the frequency usage of the letter GIMEL is 1.26%.
4. The Hebrew letter GIMEL sounds like ‘G’ in GIRL.
5. GIMEL is one of six letters that may have a DAGESH (dot) in their ‘belly.’ In the past, a GIMEL with a DAGESH had a different sound. In modern Hebrew, there is no distinction between a GIMEL with or without a DAGESH. (For more about the DAGESH and NEKUDOT, click https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/08/20/nekudot

More about the letter GIMEL

Gimel, the third letter in the Hebrew alphabet, boasts intriguing linguistic and symbolic ties. Remarkably, the progenitor of the Greek letter Gamma, and the English letter “G” trace their origins back to Gimel. Despite the enigma surrounding its etymology, some suggest a connection to the Hebrew word “gamal,” signifying “camel,” potentially due to the perceived visual resemblance of the letter to a camel. While Gimel is commonly pronounced akin to the “G” in “gap,” certain dialects, such as among Yemenite Jews, pronounce it more like a “J” in specific cases.

The form of Gimel resembles that of a person in motion. This characteristic carries a poignant lesson in Jewish teachings. The Hebrew term “gomel,” sharing the initial sound with Gimel, denotes a “benefactor” or one who generously gives to others. Progressing to the next letter in the Hebrew alphabet, Dalet, the first letter of “dal” meaning “poor,” the teaching illustrates Gimel, the benefactor, advancing towards Dalet, symbolizing aid to those in need. This imparts the ethical lesson that those with resources should swiftly extend help to those in need.

As the third letter, Gimel holds a numerical value of three. In mystical teachings, three signifies stability and holds significance in various Biblical contexts. Examples include the three patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Another ancient Jewish teaching posits that the world stands on three pillars: Torah, prayer (work), and acts of loving-kindness. The nuanced symbolism of Gimel thus interweaves linguistic, numerical, and ethical dimensions, enriching the cultural fabric of Hebrew and Jewish teachings.

Introducing the BET/VET

From: https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/09/22/letterbet/

1. Bet is the second letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
2. The numerical value of BET is 2
3. In modern Hebrew, out of all the letters in the alphabet, the letter BET’s frequency of usage is 4.98%.
4. The Hebrew letter BET is one of four letters representing two different phonemes. (A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a word that makes a difference in pronunciation and meaning.) The BET sounds like ‘b’ in boy, and the VET sounds like ‘v’ in velvet. A ‘dagesh’ – a dot in the center – distinguishes between the two. The BET has a dagesh, and the VET does not. (For more about the dagesh and NEKUDOT, click https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/08/20/nekudot/
5. BET is the first letter of the Torah, the Old Testament. The first book, GENESIS, starts with the word “BERESHIT” – in the beginning.
6. BET is spelled the same way as BAYIT, which means HOME. 
7. The letter BET is also a prefix and may function as a preposition in, at, or with.

More about the letter Bet/Vet

The Hebrew letter Bet (ב) is the second letter in the alphabet, and it has significance in both sound and form. Pronounced as “bet” (similar to the English “b” as in “boy”), it also has an alternative pronunciation, “vet,” which introduces a soft “v” sound.

The word “Bet” itself means “house” in Hebrew. This has symbolic significance, as the letter is associated with the concept of a house or dwelling place. In Kabbalistic traditions, each letter is often associated with deeper spiritual and mystical meanings, and Bet is no exception.

Beyond its role as a letter, Bet is often used as a prefix to form prepositions and prepositional phrases. For example, “בְּ” (pronounced “be”) is a common preposition meaning “in” or “at.”

In Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, the Hebrew letter Bet (ב) holds profound significance. Representing the number 2, Bet is associated with duality, balance, and the union of opposites. Its shape, resembling a container, symbolizes creation and birth, portraying a cosmic vessel. Integral to the word “Bereshit” (In the beginning), Bet is linked to the creative force in the act of bringing forth existence. Embodying the cosmic balance between opposing forces, Bet acts as a mediator, fostering harmony.

Introducing the ALEPH – also spelled Alef

From: https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/09/13/aleph/

1. Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.
2. Aleph is a silent letter. Read about silent letters at https://mazorbooks.wordpress.com/2020/08/27/silent-letters
3. The numerical value of Aleph is 1
4. In modern Hebrew, the frequency of usage of the letter Aleph is 4.94% of all letters of the alphabet.
5. In Jewish mysticism, the letter Aleph represents the Oneness of God.
6. There are lots of sayings that involve the letter Aleph. A common one is describing anything or anyone as “Aleph-Aleph” – which means that it or he/she is top of the line, best of the best!

More about the letter Aleph

The Aleph (א) is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, representing a unique and significant symbol in both linguistic and mystical contexts. In terms of sound, Aleph is silent on its own but often modifies the pronunciation of the vowel it accompanies. It is often transliterated as ‘a’ in modern Hebrew.

Beyond its linguistic role, Aleph holds special significance in Jewish mysticism, particularly in Kabbalah. It is associated with profound esoteric meanings and is sometimes called the “silent letter,” reflecting its enigmatic nature. In Kabbalistic teachings, Aleph is considered a symbol of unity and the indivisible nature of God.

The shape of Aleph is distinctive, resembling two diagonal strokes that converge at a point and are connected by a horizontal bar. This visual representation has also led to interpretations of Aleph as a composite of two Yuds (י), the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, joined by a Vav (ו), emphasizing its mystical and complex nature.

Aleph is occasionally used symbolically in literature and poetry to convey concepts of infinity, transcendence, or the unattainable. Jorge Luis Borges, a renowned Argentine writer, explored the mystical qualities of the Aleph in his short story “The Aleph,” where it becomes a point in space that contains all other points.

Overall, the Aleph is more than just a letter; it embodies layers of meaning, ranging from its linguistic function to its deep significance in spiritual and mystical traditions.
