Like artist who proudly signs a masterpiece, look how Hashem signs His name in one of his prize creations, the apple:<BR/><BR/>Hebrew letters of G-d's Holy Name<BR/> <BR/><BR/>י<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>ה<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>ו<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>ה<BR/><BR/>Letter name in English<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>yud<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>hey<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>vav<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>hey<BR/><BR/>Numerical value<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>10<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>5<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>6<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>5<BR/><BR/>Corresponding parts of the apple<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Exocarp points<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>carpels<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Shape of the stem and endocarp<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Vibrant seeds<BR/><BR/>Apple1 Cross-section of an apple, clearly showing the ten-pointed exocarp, the five carpels, and the five seeds.<BR/><BR/>Applefruitbiodidacrgblab_small Notice how the stem together with the endocarp (center, red) forms perfect number "six", which turned upside down becomes a superb letter "vav". So, together with the carpels, seeds, and exocarp points, we get the equivalent of the Ineffable Name, yud - hey - vav - hey, which has a numerical total of 26.<BR/><BR/>Now, let's take a look at The Creators signature in an apple blossom, while the fruit is being created:<BR/><BR/>26pyrus Every apple blossom has exactly 26 stamen. What, you don't yet believe that Hashem created the apple and all the rest of us? C'mon...<BR/><BR/>By looking at the apple, one can no longer deny the existence of The Creator. His signature is all over the place. By the way, apples are one of the most perfect nutritional foods that exists on the face of the earth. Apples have been shown effective in fighting cancer cells and efficient in improving the health of the lungs, heart, and cardiovascular system.<BR/><BR/>If you replace your junk-food intake with 2 or 3 apples a day, and your spiritual junk-food intake (web, TV, movies) with Torah learning, you'll discover that you'll soon look better and feel better. I want you to live a healthy and happy life until 120, amen.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to the state agriculture extension and marketing services of Virginia, Washington, Illinois, and Michigan for the technical information and photos. The spiritual ideas for this post - as well as the gematrias (numerograms) - came in to my head today during a personal prayer session.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31710117.post-1158786174770914742006-09-20T17:02:00.000-04:002006-09-20T17:02:00.000-04:00The Gaon brings down the Zohar which says that bir...The Gaon brings down the Zohar which says that birchas Yitzchok ocurred on Yom Kippur (one goat brought by Yakov was for Hashem, the other for Azazel) .

Also, what is the smell of the "field"? Is it the field that is actually fragrant? Another possible explanation is: the posuk of "Tachas hatapuach orarticha" refers to the special effort of the jewish women in Mitzrayim to attract their spouses to intimacy in that time of severe judgement. The apple symbolizes our initiation for intimacy with Ha Kodosh Boruch Hu at this time of great judgement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31710117.post-1158753919188257312006-09-20T08:05:00.000-04:002006-09-20T08:05:00.000-04:00Arizal OR ZOHAR: TEN SEEDS IS YUD FOUR CASINGS FOR...Arizal OR ZOHAR: TEN SEEDS IS YUD FOUR CASINGS FOR THE SEEDS IS HEY THE PITAM OF THE APPLE IS VAV I cant remeber the restAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
