קנה
קנה מצוי ממשפחת הדגניים גדל ליד מקורות מים ומופיע במקורותינו בשימושיו הרבים לתועלת האדם ואף כסמל. לקנה גבעול גבוה (5-3 מ’) זקוף וחלול. רוח שנושבת בו אינה שוברת אותו בשל הגמישות בה ניחן.
חז"ל הסבירו מדוע דווקא מן הקנה ניטל הקולמוס (עט) לסופר הסת"מ לכתוב בו ספר-תורה ומזוזות: "לעולם יהא אדם רך כקנה ואל יהא קשה כארז" (תענית ג’ כ’ ), לקנה שימושים נוספים לגדרות, מחצלות חַכּוֹת חליל ועוד. משמו נגזר הצרוף ’קנה-מידה’, בשל אורכו, היותו ישר מאוד ומחולק לפרקים שווים הוא שימש בעבר למדידה.

Reed
The common reed, a member of the grass family, is found near water sources and appears in Hebrew Scriptures not only as a uselul tool but also as a symbol. Reeds have long (3-5 meters), straight and hollow stems. The reed’s flexibility keeps it from breaking in strong wind.
The Sages explained why the reed was chosen to be the pen used by the scribe to write Torah scrolls, phylacteries (tefilin) and mezuzot: "A man should always be pliable as the reed and never unbending as the cedar" (Babylonian Talmud, Ta’anit 22,71b). The reed is also used for making fences, mats, fishing rods flutes and more.
