Just kidding

It's kidding season! Today I had the good fortune of passing the neighbors' cheese dairy and goat farm right after a doe had dropped twins.

With bedtime nearing, I remember what Rabbi Yosef, head of Pumbedita Academy in Babylon in the early 4th century, said in the Talmud tractate Berakhot 57a: "He who dreams of a goat, his year will be blessed; he who dreams about goats, his years shall be blessed, as it is written (Proverbs 27:27): 'The goats' milk will suffice for your food.'"

May we all have such sweet dreams.
