Rosh Hashanah - Apple And Honey Meaning

-



I remember when I was very small, several times my mother gave me some apple slices, and then dipped them with a little honey. It's true, apples are quite sweet fruit, added with honey, so they taste even more sweet. And every Rosh Hashanah celebration, apples and honey are always one of the typical dishes, which also reminds us of a prayer for an increasingly sweet new year.

However, in spiritual Kabbalah, the apple symbolizes the fruit of Da'ath, namely the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Meanwhile, honey is symbolized as purity, medicine or recovery. So, the meaning of an apple dipped in honey is, sweetening judgment, namely forgiveness and love. Thus, it means that when the Jewish New Year begins, a new chapter of life begins. And love with forgiveness, will sweeten one's judgment.

Love and Light, Nuriella.

Pey means the number 80, and its spiritual meaning is mouth, speech and conversation. The aspect of Pey's numerology is feminine. And Dalet, has numerology 4, and the spiritual meaning is an open door or window, and is sometimes interpreted as Dal meaning a poor person.   After a while, I meditated on this Pey Dalet. I felt that throughout the year 5784, it is where an open mouth meets an open door. This means that there will be freedom to speak. would like to express. Remember, when we enter ed the year 5781, when our open mouths must be closed, we were not only maintaining social distance from each other, but our physical mouths must also be closed, because of masks. So, Pey Dalet is the beginning where there is a turning point from a closed mouth to an open mouth. Not only that, maybe this is good and

The first time I heard about these four elements, fire, water, air and earth, that crossed my mind, it was probably thinking about 4 different worlds. But when I learned further, I came to understand that fire, water, air and earth, these four are elements or just unsure, and also that these four  are universal. And in each individual there are 4 elements with different levels and kinds in their within. The first element is fire. Fire speaks of examination, and often speaks of a fiery passion, or a high zest for life. Second, is water. Water is often interpreted as life or restoration. Based on the characteristics of water, water always needs a vessel to be able to stay still. The third is air. Air is interpreted as a sign of life or spirit, or soul, because it is impossible for every creature to live without breathing. And the breath of God that created the Adam can live. And fourth, this element is the easiest element to recognize, because it has character very hard, can be touched,
