Their age does not detract from their "wonder", but the world brims with some incredible creations of more modern times. I say, let's cap the nominations at 2000 years, max.

]]> Comment on Dude, it’s Shabbos! by lonestumbler http://israeltravel.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/dude-its-shabbos/#comment-32 lonestumbler Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:25:58 +0000 http://israeltravel.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/dude-its-shabbos/#comment-32 I like the way Brian types out "G_d." I heard once that Jewish Rabbis of old had such great respect for the Hebrew name of G_d that they feared to spell out in full and would only pick out a few vowels that we now know as the letters YHWH. Even before this, everytime a scribe was writing out a new torah roll, whenever he'd get to the part where he had to spell out the name of G_d, he would stop, go and wash his body thoroughly, worship and then return to curve out the letters with the greatest skill of caligraphy possible in his wrist - even then, he would not take it upon himself to write out the full name but only those letters. The faith behind this is that G_d is not to be and cannot be exhausted, just like if your Dad is called Wayne Michaels, as a child you don't float into the house and yell out "Hey! Michaels...Wayne Michaels get over here ASAP!" Tied in with this is the commandment not to take the lord's name in vain which is deeper than most people think. For example, don't carelessly mention G_d in a manner that exhausts or pours out the honour in his identity, have some reservation even in your tone and innuendo; don't use it if you don't believe. The way people talk about him these days is wasteful and they don't even realise that if you can muster up the guts to waste G_d's honour, then subconsciously you'll also as easily, always say and do things that waste your children, spouse, parents until you finally waste your own life. When Brian leaves out a letter in the name, it reminds me of all this, i don't know if that is what he intended but enough said. Sabbath means to me that God spent six days working to make his creation, but what's all the work if you can't enjoy your labours? He enjoys his labours by ensuring he creates a Sabbath or day of rest, not just for himself but also for us - a day when we his creation and him are both free to get to know each other. He makes us and then makes time for us.
