One of my favorite captures from Joshua Tree National Park. We just arrived home from a very quick journey out West. I’ve wanted to experience this National Park for quite sometime. It’s funny how these locations never look or feel like I think they might in my head. They always surpass them. Thus I’m drawn to the adventure that lies waiting for me.

One thing lead to another when I went to title the image. I went back to meaning of the word Joshua in the bible. The name Joshua is formed from the root of the Hebrew word for salvation. The Lord saves.

I find so much beauty in the desert. I hope you enjoy this capture as much as I do.

This man is the most photographed one in the Wailing Wall (Western Wall; KOTEL in Hebrew). If you would search for photos of the place, you would find him in quite a few. He appears a few times in my stream too. As you can understand, not by chance.

 

Yeshayahu Leibowitz was an Ultra-Orthodox Israeli, highly provocative intellectual. He called the Wailing Wall (KOTEL) the Disco-Kotel and argued that in order to worship the Lord, one does not need a concrete place. The Lord is everywhere, and concrete objects contradict real Judaism. Unfortunately, most people are not so spiritual as Leibowitz was and need concrete objects to denote mental activities. Many describe a strong spiritual experience in front of the two thousand years wall. An experience one cannot deny.

 

p.s.

You may also notice the small notes that are pushed between the stones. These notes contain wishes of people from the Lord.

-Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

 

-Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

The Hebrew (Polygrammate hebraeicum). Little Falls Creek, Baltimore County, Maryland.

Her real name is Mallard, but her friends call her "Mal."

 

Mal can also be a nickname for Mallory, Molly, or Malcolm... and it fits because Mal is gender-neutral.

From the Scottish, Malcolm means "devoted to St. Columba."

In Hebrew, Mal is "Messenger of God."

It's all so.....ducky!!

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

 

Schwartz's, also known as the Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen, is a delicatessen restaurant and take-out, located at 3895 Saint-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal, Quebec. It was established in 1928 by Reuben Schwartz, a Jewish immigrant from Romania. Schwartz's is the most famous remaining Montreal-style smoked meat restaurant. The restaurant also sells smoked meat by mail order. It is kosher style rather than kosher.

 

The staff of Schwartz's credits the unique flavour of their smoked meat to their mandatory 10-day meat curing time, the high turnover of their meat, and their brick smoke-house covered with over 80 years worth of buildup.

 

Schwartz's signature dish is a smoked meat sandwich served on rye bread with yellow mustard. The meat is served by the fat content; lean, medium, medium-fat or fat. Medium and medium-fat are the most popular. According to journalist Bill Brownstein, the classic Schwartz's meal includes a medium-fat sandwich, fries, half-sour pickle, coleslaw, red pepper, and a black cherry soda.

Had a couple Hebrew National Hot dogs left from our Tent camping weekend at Frozen Head State Park and Natural Area, so I had two Chili cheese dogs and some Bush's Baked beans for lunch!

Polygrammate hebraeicum - The Hebrew - Hodges#9285

 

There were several Hebrews present, including one that perched on my back for a while.

Australia has gone lockdown mad, the world is on the verge of something big, and I'm going to take a few days off to process things.

 

In 1955 Allen Ginsberg wrote one of the most powerful and controversial poems of the 20th century, "Howl". In it he raged against forces that conspired to destroy human creativity and authenticity. It was prophetic. His opening line is the perfect description of our current era.

 

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness..."

 

Then it got even darker!

 

"What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?

Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!

Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!

Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!

Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money!"

 

And on he went. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/49303/howl

 

In 2016, barely two months before his death, the great musical prophet Leonard Cohen (may his memory be blessed), left us with a powerful series of songs that seem to foreshadow changes that at the time we had no idea were about to hit the world. The title track was dark enough:

 

"If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game

If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame

If thine is the glory, then mine must be the shame

You want it darker

We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified

Be the holy name

Vilified, crucified

In the human frame

A million candles burning

For the help that never came

You want it darker

Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, my Lord"

www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0nmHymgM7Y

 

And then he got darker again with "Puppets".

 

Early in the 20th century T.S Eliot wrote the poem that summed up the impasse that humanity had come to in "The Waste Land". That was powerfully obscure, but when I first studied it in high school, I was even more impressed by the relative simplicity of another poem of his that got to the nub of modern humanity. It is clearly echoed in the very different work of Allen Ginsberg. His 1925 poem “The Hollow Men” describes 'a desolate world, populated by empty, defeated people.' It begins:

 

"We are the hollow men

We are the stuffed men

Leaning together

Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!

Our dried voices, when

We whisper together

Are quiet and meaningless

As wind in dry grass

Or rats' feet over broken glass

In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,

Paralysed force, gesture without motion..."

 

And it ends with these prophetic words:

 

"This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper."

To use an old obscure Hebrew word:

 

SELAH

Continuing my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a stop in Tubac, AZ. This is stage 3 of 9. This is a place I plan on revisiting.

I toured the Presidio of Tubac and the Museum. As I turned a corner in the Museum, I was pleasantly surprised to see this Tallit (Jewish Prayer Shawl). This is a very nice and ornate example. Jews played important roles in the development of the State of Arizona.

 

ChatGPT says:

Tubac, Arizona, is a charming town rich in history and culture. Founded in the 18th century, it began as a Spanish presidio and later became a hub for artists and artisans. Today, Tubac is known for its vibrant arts scene, featuring galleries, studios, and shops showcasing local artwork and crafts.

The Tubac Presidio State Historic Park offers a glimpse into the area's past, with preserved ruins and exhibits that highlight its significance in Arizona's history. Visitors can explore the beautiful desert landscape, enjoy outdoor activities, and participate in various festivals and events throughout the year.

The town's blend of history, art, and natural beauty makes it a unique destination for those looking to experience the spirit of the Southwest. Whether you're interested in exploring its historical sites or indulging in the local arts, Tubac offers something for everyone.

 

Haiku thoughts:

Old adobe walls stand,

Artists' dreams in sunlight bloom,

Tubac's heart beats on.

The Hebrew Music Museum is located in Kikar Hamusica (“music square”), in Jerusalem. The museum displays musical instruments from across the world and allows visitors to enjoy hearing their sounds and learning about the instruments history.

Ariel's name is used in Hebrew, English, French, Spanish, Polish, Biblical, and Biblical Greek. The name means "lion of God" in Hebrew. The name is used not only for boys but for girls too.

El Cementerio hebreo de Madrid se encuentra junto al Cementerio civil. Se construyó y puso en servicio durante el reinado de Alfonso XIII, en 1922. Su extensión abarca una hectárea y está compuesto de una sola calle, colocadas las tumbas y lápidas a ambos lados. El adorno común y repetido en casi todas ellas lo constituyen la estrella de David y la menorá.

 

The Hebrew Cemetery of Madrid is located next to the Civil Cemetery. It was built and put into service during the reign of Alfonso XIII, in 1922. Its extension covers one hectare and is made up of a single street, with graves and headstones on both sides. The common and repeated adornment in almost all of them is the Star of David and the menorah.

Happy Hannukah to all my Flickr Friends !

 

The menorah (/məˈnɔrə/; Hebrew: מְנוֹרָה‎ [mənoːˈɾaː]) is described in the Bible as the seven-lamp (six branches) ancient Hebrew lampstand made of pure gold and used in the portable sanctuary set up by Moses in the wilderness and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. Fresh olive oil of the purest quality was burned daily to light its lamps. The menorah has been a symbol of Judaism since ancient times and is the emblem on the coat of arms of the modern state of Israel.

 

La menorah est décrite dans la Bible comme l'ancienne lampe à six bras des Hebreux; elle etait faite en or pur et servait dans le sanctuaire portable etabli par Moses dans le desert et puis dans le Temple de Jerusalem.

De l'huile d'olive, frais et de la meilleure qualite brulait chaque jour pour allumer ses lampes.

La menorah est le symbole du Judaism depuis les temps anciens et de nos jours elle grace le blason de l'etat d'Israel.

Sunday prayers: “for the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).

This is a picture of a Polygrammate hebraeicum on the South Tract of the Patuxent Research Refuge near Laurel, Maryland.

A hebrew moth (Polygrammate hebraeicum) at our porch light! It gets its name because those markings look like characters in the Hebrew Alphabet. (This one showed up one year to the day since I saw my last one)

 

This moth was about 2 1/2 cm from nose to wingtip.
