The Jewish year 5786 runs from sunset on September 22, 2025, to sunset on September 11, 2026. In Jewish tradition, it is considered a year of divine connection, symbolized by the Hebrew letter vav (ו), representing a hook, bridge, or connection between heaven and earth, often referred to as a year to "stretch to connect" or build unity.Key Significance of 5786:Hebrew Letter Vav (ו): The year is associated with the 6th letter, vav, which acts as a connector and represents humanity (created on the 6th day).Theme of Connection: It is viewed as a time for divine alignment, bringing together disjointed seasons, and connecting the spiritual and physical realms - and hopefully in my case, the inner and the outer.
I watch the mind, its machinations, its impossible hunger for safety and comfort, its fears and desires. That is what mind does.
