Jerusalem's First Rain

"The first rain reminds me of the rising summer dust" -Yahuda Amichai

Today was the first rain of the season in Jerusalem and it was a spectacular sight, feeling and sound. Rain is prayed for all year long so to experience it is emotional. In Boston we take for granted the amount of rain we get but when you do not see rain for months at a time, you appreciate its coming and purpose for the cycle of nature.

Shabbat shalom
Esther
