Hoy! Kol Tzamay l’chu lamayim

Our spiritual challenge is to first acknowledge our thirst for Love, wisdom, comfort, nurturance and pleasure…. And then to “come for water.” Isaiah tells us that even if you feel that you have no money or worth… still you can come and buy this wine and this milk. The wine represents the power of transformation and the milk is that which nurtures our deepest yearnings. He warns us not to waste our life’s energy trying to buy something that in the end won’t nurture us. We chant these words to acknowledge our thirst and then to move us towards the true “water” which is as intoxicating as wine and as nurturing as breast-milk.
