rosh hashannah

Although Rosh Hashannah has always been a great nostalgic time for me – family, apples & honey, pomegranates…how could you go wrong – it’s also an incredible time for spirituality.  We get judged…some cares enough to spend time assessing all of our actions and to decide based on those actions what kind of year we should have, if any.

The three shofars underneath the pomegranate represent the past, present and future.  When Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac on the altar he was presented with a ram that would take his son’s place.  One of the horns of the ram was used then and another will be used in the time of Moshiach…the middle shofar in this painting represents the time between the time of our patriarchs and prophecy and the time of Moshiach, it’s the shofar that we live with now.
