My student Nathan is behind that mask..
Week 7-/(Malchut) KINGDOM-Day 7/(Malchut) Kingdom
The last day/night of counting the omer this evening is all about how we connect ourselves to leadership. Is our leadership as solid as a rock or just a mask we hide behind? As we have refined ourselves through the 48 days of counting, we have been getting rid of what is extra or un-needed. Let our leadership lift up all of those around us and point us inward and upward. As we get ready to receive the Torah we don't need to be serious but everything that comes from us needs to come from the heart. Maybe our energy will be from head to toe or maybe from side to side but the smile we have should be enough to shine. it may be that our brightness scares off some but still we should keep on shining. May this year be even a better one than the last. Just as we receive the tablets, shall we receive bundles of blessings. There is a touch of sadness as it may seem we have left behind beloved family and friends but it is not true, they are all standing with us at Sinai.
After nightfall on Monday:
BA-RUCH A-TAH ADO-NAI E-LO-HE-NU ME-LECH HA-OLAM
ASHER KID-E-SHA-NU BE-MITZ-VO-TAV VETZI-VA-NU AL SEFI-RAT HA-OMER.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer.
Today is forty-nine days which is six weeks and seven days of the omer.
