Happy Birthday Adam and Eve!
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2006 3:32 pm
Today is the eve of the Night hailing the Briat Ha Adam, or Establishment of Man.
Note, the word Briat, is not the same as "creator." Traditionally, today the beast of man was created, and tomorrow (remember, the Jews count night before day) is the commemoration of the Yechidah, or the breathing of Life into Man, which is not what caused him to be animated, but rather, that which informed his own soul and spirit, in alignment with that essence of the Ancient of Days, that we call Elohim.
It is VERY traditional to celebrate your life this weekend, and as it is better understood in the context of Fall, which starts tomorrow, on the autumnal Equinox, this traditionally represents the time of Rest before the hard work of the harvest.
So, by all means, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Scientologist, or other, enjoy your weekend and stay light of heart!
