Hello

Well fall in coming, that also means harvest time. However I did not get the gardening gene that runs in my family.  Others grow it and I will eat the produce. That last time I tried gardening we could have bought organic food for the year in bags trimmed in gold leaf. It would have been cheaper than what we spent.

This week we are going to have questions on the foods in the Bible also called the  seven species. These are foods mentioned in the Bible and held in high regard by the Jews. Therefore they were the only acceptable foods for offerings in the temple. No meats are here. Only fruits and grains.
