The deeper connection between the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve senses and the twelve zodiac symbols as a means of spiritual growth. Each Jewish month carries its own blend of cosmic energies, human faculties and divine intentions. Aligning oneself with these spiritual attributes helps you navigate life’s challenges and opportunities with greater clarity and purpose. Let’s journey through the twelve months, revealing the rich tapestry of connections between the tribes, senses, symbols and their deeper significance.

1. NISSAN: THE MONTH OF REDEMPTION

Tribe: Judah – symbolizes kingship, and redemption. Judah was the ancestor of King David and is associated with strength and leadership.

Sense: Speech – as seen in the story telling of Passover Seder.

Zodiac Symbol: Aries (Lamb) – Represents the Pesach (Passover) offering, a lamb sacrificed during the Exodus.

Biblical Context: Nissan marks the Exodus from Egypt, the defining moment when God freed the Jewish people from Slavery (Exodus 12).

Holiday Connection: Passover includes the Seder, a meal where you tell the story of the Exodus and at symbolic foods, emphasizing the transformative power of speech.

Reflection: Think about times when you found freedom in your life. Use words to inspire and liberate yourself and others.

Dear Cuban Hebrew Community,

It is always good to make new friends, and for acquaintances to become friends too. For various reasons we find ourselves single later in our lives. Good friends can fill a void we may feel from time to time. There are new people coming into our community all the time. We are a warm and welcoming Temple. But it is not easy to make friends. We are looking to restart a social group for single seniors members. To be real chevra, a group of friends who value each other’s company, we need to find activities we want to share, and good times to meet. 

So here is an informal survey, please respond. (contact@cubanhebrew.com) We can have a relaxed meet –up at the temple for those who are interested to begin.

- Do you prefer to meet during the day, evening or either is good?

- Meet for coffee, lunch, dinner – any preference?

- Outings –movies, theater trips, museum trips – club with live music?

- Classes – art, music, dance, yoga?
