Here is a quick list of the many similarities between dandelions and Mitzvahs, if you can think of anymore please comment below:
- They are abundant, simply waiting to be appreciated;
- Kids are naturally drawn towards them;
- Beneficial to their surrounding — yet considered unattractive by the pretentious;
- Considered weeds by the “sophisticated”;
- Considered to be a plant from the old world;
- Have more uses than almost any other flower: edible, medicinal, good for the garden, beautiful;
- In touch with the world around them, open during the day, closed at night;
- Clearly connected to the source of life — they wilt just minutes after being picked;
- They can be found almost worldwide — a universal flower;
- It has been described as “a plant for which we once knew the use but we’ve forgotten it”;
- They have the ability to nourish surrounding plants & grains (by breaking up hard earth and bringing up nutrients from below).
