In this meditation, we explore the bikkurim (first fruits) ceremony as a celebration of homecoming, both physical, to the land, and in our meditation, spiritual, a continual return to the home of peace and rest inside ourselves that is our true home, a place that is not tight like Mitzrayim, but flowing like the land that flows with milk and honey.
