Solomon's Wall
by:
Jean-Leon Gerome
For this one Sunday, I'm breaking with the "Silent Sermon" part. Because I want to let you know that in a few days, My Lion and I will be departing for Jerusalem. I will have lots to share with you when I return here.
Israel, I admit, has never been on my list of world places I've longed to see. But, it is at the very top of Michael's short list of places he's always wanted to visit. I am beyond thrilled for him to have this wish answered. I know I will be more than delighted by all the history and sights I will encounter over the eight days.
How can one not be fascinated to stand in a part of our world that has such ancient energy and humanity?
So, to that end, I make you an offer. If you have a special intention, or you have a special prayer that you would like me to include at my time standing at The Wall, please let me know.
I promise you that it will be included in the small paper I leave in a crack of The Wall....it will join the millions of prayers that have now become part of that sacred place. Carrying it for you will be an honor.
The ancient cry of the Jews is always the hopeful, "Next year in Jerusalem!" Somehow, I feel especially fortunate to live in a world that means world travel is so easy to actualize. Somehow, I know I am especially blessed to be able to say, "This year in Jerusalem!" And, I am especially blessed to have wonderful people like you, with whom to share this Mitzvah.
Namaste' Till Next Time,
