Say: Bless You
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life .. BE HOLY! (what?)
Okay – who cares about HOLY these days? Maybe you should (and not only because themedical researchers say you live longer).
Mini Quiz – and the answers are ALL RELATED!
Do you ever speak to the supermarket check-out person?
What is a REGEL in Hebrew? (NOT a Beigel)
What are the holiest days in the Jewish Calendar?
Who is the holiest person in Jewish litany?
Let’s answer them backwards –
The High Priest is SUPPOSED to be the holiest person in theholiest Temple.
The holiest days in the Jewish calendar are –
THE DAYS THEPRIESTHOOD BLESS ALL THE PEOPLE.
(High Holy Days and the THREE REGALIM – Happy Holidays–
Passover Sukkot andShavuote)
REGEL means FOOT - and also “Getting Used To things (HERGEL)”
So here’s the connection -
IF YOU GET USED TO BLESSING PEOPLE
HERGEL
EVERY DAY WILL BE A HAPPY HOLIDAY
REGEL
Try it on the check-out person –
Say “Bless you” – and get a smile-
Or a blessing back!
Shabbat Shalom
