Bride and groom hold hands during the ceremony.
Week 7-/Malchut (KINGDOM)-Day 2/Gevurah (DISCIPLINE)
"In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change"
-Thich Nhat Hanh-
During the wedding ceremony the bride and groom didn't just hold hands but massaged each other's hand. Words came out of the mouths of many but all the while I was watching the two hands as they connected and spoke in their own way. We are both our intelligent minds and our spiritual bodies. We wear our tefillin on our arm and on our head. The connection between one another should include both of these aspects of ourselves. As the two souls before me made promises so did the hands. Let us hold each other up.

After nightfall on Sunday:
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-four days which is six weeks and two days of the Omer.
