Kosher wine from Galilee
One of my dear friends at work Mark took a trip to the Holy Land this year. He gifted me a beautiful necklace. The pendant has written in Hebrew from Deuteronomy 6:4 a very important Jewish Prayer, the Shema: "Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One". I love the necklace and I wear it often and find strength in it, as well as the the Quartz one my dear friend Chuck gave me.
My friend Mark took my scribbles on a small piece of paper all the way from Tennessee and put them in the wailing wall for me also.
And recently he shared with me that since his return he's been drinking Kosher wine from Galilee. He said the valley by the river there is so beautiful and since his visit has such special meaning to him, drinking the wine brings back memories of his spiritual sojourn to the holy place. I thought I would treat myself to a bottle. I waited for a special occasion and shared it with a friend I had not seen in quite some time. I have to agree with Mark. It is quite lovely, and nearly magical in your mind knowing where it came from. I would love to make my own trip to the Holy Land and then around the Mediterranean. A good six month tour, oh how nice!! For now, I'm working on my economical camping trip reservations for the spring, summer and fall. I'd be happy for some days of warmth and sunshine right now....Love love...
