Since Melton began I have visited the 'Palace in Time,' which is what Abraham Joshua Heschel calls Shabbat. I have laid my hands on Challah and blessed the Source of Life - my hands and my voice calling me to behold how amazing it is that the earth exists and a seed exists that if planted and tended will grow into a plant, which we grind into a powder and mix with eggs, which a feathered animal lays, and honey, which flying insects make, and bake into bread we can eat. This is a miracle!
