A Guest Writer Shares His Torah


The word Gefen, grape, in hebrew has a beautiful meaning behind it. If we combine its letters, Gimmel Pei and Nun we find the three levels of a person, which each letter representing a level.

The first letter in Gefen is Gimmel, representing the Guf, or body/covering of the person.

The second letter in Gefen is Pei, representing the Panim, or face/facade of the fruit.

The third and last letter in Gefen is Nun, which is the highest form of man representing the word Nozel which means to drip. This is the verb that represents the dripping fruit juice that contains the sweetness and essence behind the fruit. This symbolzies the human's Neshama, soul.

From Gefen, grapes, people produce Yayin, wine. Wine is the child, offspring of what is derived from the fruit. This shows us when someone uses all of the parts of what is contained in themselves to their potential, they receive the best results. Wine has the same Gematriya as "Sod" which means Secret in Hebrew. Therefore, by learning to understand the Gefen, the inner self of the friend, the Jew, the fellow; one can really understand the "sod" behind who he/she is.

Chodesh Tov!
