Tzor Adonai 365 Day-by-Day Biblical Essays מעוז צור, Stone of the Bible

By Jack Howard

Drawing on the wisdom of the Tanakh, myriad references to stone and rock intend to present a mosaic of insight, from Yaakov's rolling away to the use of doves to find permanence of salvation.... this daily book of Biblical quotes about "rocks" matches related, practical insights of the author. It also includes information and tidbits about these eras of the past, and what they teach all of us---Jew, Noahide, Christian and others---from the most important writings in history.So: why a book focused on stones instead of, say, water? ...C tops H2O? Water, popularly characterized as being so essential for life, isn't our only sustaining gift. Water for all of its wonder and incredible properties, literally and figuratively rests upon terra firma. Water, comprising 3/4 of the planet's global surface, is essentially in the cup of the stony Earth, and held in further place by the motion of material bodies through space. Our bodies, at 68% water, are also similarly and actually shaped and held in form by our bodies as a receptacle. Our blood supply, characterized in the Bible as the essence of life, is 90% water: but humans as carbon-based life forms, are essentially sparking life by not being in water ... life, fueled by the existence of a carbon element, which creates and contains the wonder of a rock of strength in life. Unlike water, our being is deep as stone, with the hand of G d at our core. The incredible complexity of the universe may look towards water as life giving. But this confuses the myriad, initiating presence of Hashem, the blessed Name, as master of the universe. Water, regarded as ubiquitous in life on earth, probably comprises less than .000000000000001% of matter in the entire universe...G d, as this calendar meditates, is everything: He is the ultimate receptacle. So here in your hands is a daily, 365 degree adventure to undertake contemplatively, through the use of the Bible's wisdom as to the meaning of our faith, The Rock on which life rests.
