The Dog in the White House

The incoming presidential pup is slated to debut at the White House later today. Bo was named after Bo Diddley the great blues musician of fifties.

In Hebrew Dog is Calev a word made from two words: Col/All, Lev/Heart; it is a common cliché that dog is man’s best friend. In Perek Shira a compilations of verses attributed to animal souls, quotes the dog as saying (Tihilim/Psalms 95/6) Come prostrate, and bend the knee before God who made us.

The Torah is adamant that all of creation is alive and speaks before the Creator, most are regulated by their nature and speak only what is in their mouths to speak, but the human being has what the cabalists call the 22 movements of the mouth which corresponds to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

The ability to speak, to articulate thoughts from the endless possibilities hidden within the mind fed by the soul, is what makes us elevates us beyond our fellow creatures. Perhaps the importance of having a dog in the White House is to deliver the message to the President, bow the knees Barack in Hebrew means Knees) and remember who created us.
