Torah commands

The Torah commands that "No leaven, nor any honey, shall be offered by fire to G-d" (Leviticus 2:11).
Ultra-sweet honey and ultra-sour leaven, are opposite extremes; G-d does not like extremes.
-- Chassidic master Rabbi Mendel of Kotzk

The protection prayer in English:

May the Merit of Rabbi Meir Ba’al Ha-Ness protect us so that we may serve our Creator completely and fully, for a long time to come. May no evil befall us, nor any plague come near our dwelling. And in the merit of Rabbi Meir Ba’al Ha-Ness, may all my progeny be holy, of flawless character and conviction. God of Rabbi Meir answer me.

Thanksgiving Turkey - The Bird of Thanks

The Hebrew word for turkey is “tar'negol hodu" which literally means an “Indian Rooster.” The country of India is called "Hodu" in Hebrew.

The other meaning of the word hodu is "thanks." Like the phrase from Tehillim (Psalm 118 verse 1) , Hodu LaHashem Ki Tov, is generally translated as, “Give thanks to God because He is good.”
