A pre-Thanksgiving special
At this time of the year, I’m especially grateful for all of the wonderful pathways and vistas that I get to see during the spring, summer, and early fall hiking seasons. What are you grateful for?
Before the mountains were born
or You brought forth the earth and the world,
From everlasting to everlasting
You are G-d
(Isaiah 90:2)

Why is there a hyphen there?
Very beautiful picture.

Thanks William…it was a stunning view.
The hyphen. It’s used to replace the vowel in the name of the Lord primarily by Jews and Christians of Jewish descent. We don’t write His name. In Hebrew, a double “yod” is used to designate His name.

Okay, I wasn’t aware that it also referred to Christians of Jewish descent. Since you have more Jewish heritage roots than I, a question someone asked me this morning was “is there a Jewish holiday that commemorates the entrance into the Holy Land and the crossing of the Jordon?” I know it was celebrated at Gilgal with the 12 stones and sacrifice, but after that, was there ever anything really instituted?
Tag this as completely off topic. :P

Well, it was the same day as the Pesach lamb was to be selected, but I don’t know of any specific holiday.
But I could be wrong :)
