Like everything in Judaism, the month of
L possesses many layers. There's the awe
of the month which causes even the fish
in the sea to tremble. There's the
disarming imagery of the king in the
field made famous by the alterba of
Kabad. But I believe there's yet an
additional layer, a layer of care and
love. The word can be broken down into
two words. Alf representative of the
aluam
the master of the world and the word lul
which in Hebrew means a bassinet or a
crib. The of are depicted by in the
smile his left hand
is under my head vina while his right
arm
embraces me. For me, this evokes the
image of a a loving parent caringly
picking their child out of a crib. So,
you see, the month of L represents the
crib of the world, not necessarily a
month of awe and dread, but rather a
month of care, compassion, and love.
