Your Bishvat Tree Day

  • This year's sweet winter is not going. From there and from here you ask what medicinal herb is stimulating once the flu has given wood, what was the denial for the famous, if you have to throw the syrup when it has overfermented, what to do for the cough... Nothing surprising will teach us how to prepare the medicine chest to fight winter diseases.

But I have another medicine chest in my head. A medicine chest I see nowhere in the images of television and social media, because it seems that it is also going to be blurred and hidden. Last summer, when I wrote Hypericum perforatum (Hypericum perforatum), I talked about the multiple pains caused by wars and realized that there is pain I didn't know. The pain that gives me the sight from the screen until I feel beaten, sometimes taking the Santa Fe.

I am referring to the images from Palestine, that testimony we receive every day from hell.

I am not able to say anything to the Palestinians, but I have something to say to the Jews and it has to do with a celebration of them. On the 25th of this month they will celebrate with the full moon Tu Bishvat, the day of the trees, one of the four New Years mentioned in the Talmuda (yes, four New Years could be celebrated each year). The celebration that fascinated me of what I met, a party that I would have liked to put in a new purified calendar of Santo and Virgen (once).

Your Bishvat is a nature festival that is celebrated outdoors, planting trees and giving them special blessings; to be strong, noble and fertile trees, that bear many fruits, but not only that, this day is also obligatory to eat fruit. The best way to express gratitude is to eat seven fruits: figs, dates, pomegranates, grapes... Both fresh and dry, but eating and singing both.

And I know you will, because you are very poor in obeying the law of your God. Someone will have to tell them that what their Tua says is that nature must be respected, even in times of war (Deuteronomy 20:19). I write it twice: trees and forests cannot be destroyed in wartime, and less now, in the most crude winter, because their life force begins to wake up, and soon the inner sap will begin to rise.

What has been said here will not serve many, but whoever writes this went to doctrine before he made communion and learned that he had to be afraid of that violent Old Testament God, where everything was punishment, plague, war, disease and curse. Therefore, I recommend reading the first five books of Tanakha, so you can agree what comes to you.

If your God will fulfill your word, he will punish you, but nature will not bring you punishments. Nature will bring back medicinal plants for you and Palestinians. Almonds will flourish for everyone. The parietal herbs (Parietaria judaica) will be born in piles of stones from the houses you have torn down, the herbs of achón (Taraxacum officinale) and the plant (Plantago lanceolata) in the strangulated sidewalks and the herb pasm (Lysimachia arvensis) on the portals of the hospitals that have destroyed them. These four are the internal and external wounds, the biggest oxal, the hate one.
