These are some personal items of silver acquired over several years. Searching and asking for each that was lacking, I have recently completed a set for use on Shabbat.

The cup has the words "Borey Pree HaGafen" (the one who creates fruit of the wine) at the top with grapes hanging below them. Each silver candle stand has a bunch of grapes in the lattice. The book cover has silver and gold plating along with a few gem stones.

The prayer book was printed in Israel in 1964 and contains more than twenty prayer services, including "the reading of the law". These are very long and the book is only two by three inches, making it difficult to use for lessons.

I will however teach you a morning prayer.

This is easily memorized in groups of three words.

Notice that these kinds of prayers focus on God's attributes and His actions in relation to us.

Traditional Interpretation:

I give thanks before You
living and eternal King
for You have returned my soul within me with compassion
great is your faith in me and your faithfulness to me.

The face of God.

The above meaning in English does not really convey the depth of meaning in some of the words. The third word contains p'ney-cha, which is "your face". The first of the "ten words" given to Moses states emphatically "...You shall have no other gods in My face"

When a King orders someone removed from his court, the last thing heard is, "You will not see my face again."

I see the first line of this prayer meaning that God is looking when we pray it. It could be understood...

• I come before your throne to thank you
• I give you thanks as you look down upon me
• I thank you as I seek to seek your face

Another thing the prayer suggests is that our soul is experiencing dreams outside the body at night. I will not go into this, but a quick image search of the 'ethereal body dreaming' would suggest the same idea.

Hebrews knew this by faith centuries ago.

Shalom!
