The next site we will learn about on “Derech Hayam” is: “Gezer”.
Is “Gezer” connected to carrots? What does the word “Gezer” mean in the Torah? We`ll see several places where the word “Gezer” appears in the Torah and see the special connection between “Gezer” and Rosh Hashanah!
On Rosh Hashanah we pray that God will seal our judgment (in Hebrew: “Gezar din”), the reason given for Shofar is “the decree of the torah” (in Hebrew: “Gezerat hakatuv”), and also – on Rosh Hashanah there is a custom to eat… Carrots! Is there a connection??
