Did you know that the Hebrew word for the morning service comes from the word for "dawn"?

Here's a poem I wrote as a Shacharit prayer...

Shacharit on a Massachusetts Mountain 

Morning mist makes its presence known

Crickets pause their exuberant song

Tendrils of heavenly rays penetrate the lower spheres

This Godly manifestation we call home.

I, an interloper, observe 

Light Primordial

Legends concerning Miriam often involve a magical well which sprang up and followed her wherever she went. Some  stories even say that she was a water witch, gifted with locating actual water where there was none: a very useful skill in the desert, yes?

She was also the one who had the vision to have the women pack their timbrels in order to celebrate their redemption at the shores of the Red/Reed Sea.

If Miriam impresses you also, please take a look at this headdress style kippah created in her honor!
