Rosh Hodesh Heshvan: A Nice Month




Heshvan is the quiet month:
No holidays
No repentence
No redemption
No dancing,
Phew!

Heshvan is the Shabbat of months.
Heshvan is when we rest
From deep thoughts
And history
And joy,
Enough already!

Heshvan is the Shmita of months. 
Heshvan is when we lie fallow
And let the worms of reflection make compost 
While we sip Pina Coladas 
On the metaphorical beach. 
L’chaim!

Thank you, Heshvan.
Have a nice month, everybody.
