Jewish Spiritual Renewal: New Class: Fun/Light: Perek Shira: Shabbat 1 /5/13 perek shira: song of nature   Shalom my dear Chaverim, Talmidim, v' Rabbanim, friends, students, and fellow rabbis. An oneg, joy-filled, Shabbat this coming weekend to all. HAPPY 2013! May we merit to know a complete Shalom beyond human comprehension! For this series, we are studying Perek Shira. It will be fun and light and short for those that wish it to be, as well as deep and involved from those who like to delve into our traditions texts. Perek Shira is 6 chapters long with verses of various heavenly and earthly bodies, plants and creatures singing praises to God. If you would like, consider the phrase the entity is singing, and ascribe to it what the entity is trying to teach us... about what traits to mirror and what traits to avoid. More on the text is found in the first class. For those new to the class Baruch ha Ba! Welcome! You can view past classes at http://rabbiarthursegal.blogspot.com ''The ETROG is singing: "Like the Etrog tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among men. I sat down under his shadow with delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.' (Song of Songs 2:3), [Perek Shira 3:6, Nature's Song].   What attributes of the Etrog would you like to have? [Hints: The Etrog is used as part of the 4 species on Sukkot. Why? The Talmud says 'the fruit of a beautiful tree'' means the Etrog.Why? For what is Etrog Jam used medicinally? The Midrash Vayikra Rabbah 30:12 lists some attributes for us. What are they?] ''Chasid Inspecting Etrog" by Chezi Gerin   These middot, character traits, of living in shalom, and becoming spiritually connected are discussed throughout all of my books. Find the one or more that you would like at www.JewishSpiritualRenewal.org/books.    How has learning Perek Shira helped you in your interpersonal relationships? Are you learning to live in shalom and be in shlema?
