my daughter asked me the other day Abba
you know Rosh Hashanah is coming
why do we dip the apple and the honey
you know we've been singing the song in
school dipped Apple Linda honey make a
bracha loud and clear Ashana have a
happy Sweet New Year why do we have to
dip the Apple in the honey what's with
the honey
so
you know just last night I was by a
Rejuvenation event by Emmett had an
event
Rabbi uh
where the craft got up the speaker I
morded a craft
and he said something so brilliant he
answered the question I ran home and I
gave over this answer to my daughter and
she was satisfied with it I hope you
will be satisfied with it as well
he said you know
we say in the game
which means anything that comes from
some girls in pure isn't pure
for example
if milk comes from a cow
we could drink the milk as kosher
because it comes from something that is
kosher but milk that comes from a lion
is a lion kosher it's not Kosher and
then that means that the milk will be
not Kosher you know why the milk is not
kosher
because the milk comes from an impure
place and we're concerned that if you
came from that place it might have got
mixed up with something unkosher and
therefore maybe there's some particles
inside there that maybe got mixed up and
therefore it might be not caution
therefore we stay away from such milk
but if it comes from Macau we just go
through then it must be kosher
if that's the rule then anything that
comes from a place that's kosher is
kosher anything that comes from a not
cultural places not Kosher then how was
honey kosher honey concerned bees bees
are not kosher you're not allowed to eat
bees so then how is honey kosher and the
camera says there's one exception to the
rule and that's bees you know why
because bees have two stomachs half of
them I don't know how to get more even
knew this today with all the technology
we finally were able to find out that
bees have two stomachs if you were to
ask me if you could guess which animal
or which creature has two stomachs I
would say an elephant I would never
think a bee would have two stomachs but
the gamana says no it's the bee that has
two stomachs without the technology
without that you know Mega computers
that we have today with a million dollar
budget
as a gift we have a tradition from Moses
that the bees have to stomach the
creator of bees already told us how many
stomachs it has and the second stomach
that it has it stores the honey and the
Honey is 100 pure and it's kept pure and
it comes out 100 pure on adulterated
honey and don't worry about the enzymes
it doesn't get mixed up with the enzymes
because it has a special mechanism that
is separates the size a whole Miracle
Within itself
but somehow the Honey comes out 100 pure
unadulterated pure honey
so you know what the honey represents
something pure and it comes from a place
that is not pure it represents something
that's kosher but it came from something
that's not Kosher it's a transformation
from not culture to kosher and that's
why we eat honey and Rosh Hashanah
because now we have changed maybe we
won't ask for culture throughout the
year
maybe we have bad habits maybe we sinned
maybe we did something wrong but now
we're our slate is clean now we're
coming in pure like the honey is pure
the Honey comes from not Kosher but then
it becomes it's it's kosher emerges
kosher so we emerge kosher when we come
into Roshana so let's keep our slate
clean let's make sure that we're going
to come into this new year
changed people that's what Russia means
shashana means a year Shana but it also
could come from where the shinui similar
shinoy means to change
two similar words China means to change
because now we have to change we have
changed we're a new person you're not
the old person you used to be
now Hashem says your slate is clean and
now you're far from those places that
used to be you know much closer to me
take advantage don't mess it up for
yourself don't change don't compromise
your soul
