A historic drought has depleted Texas aquifers to lows rarely seen since 1948, and it could take months or even years for the groundwater supplies to fully recharge, according to NASA scientists.
Included in the Shema Yisroel/Hear Israel, a commandment to recited daily, morning and evening, are three sections of the Torah/Teaching; the first section is only six words proclaiming God is One, the second section is about love and the third about fear.
In the third section of the Shema the Torah warns: Watch yourself least you turn your heart, serve other gods and bow down to them; God will become angry and close the heavens, there will be no more dew and the ground will dry up – destruction will quickly come.
For a state like Texas, so permeated with right-wing religion producing politicians with extreme view-points, they might take note of this warning. At the end of the Torah is also warns, People will worship in strange ways. Religion is a strange way to worship God.
The Cabala teaches, The meaning of the Shema is to emphasize God's continual presence all the time, everywhere; religion assumes God is spiritual and brings calamity on the world – but, God wants repentance and therefore sends signs for the world to interpret.
