Two of my five year old students give me a blessing.
Week 5-/Hod (SPLENDOR)-Day 7/Malchut (Kingdom)
"To be loved means to be recognized as existing."
-Thich Nhat Hanh-
This week was designated as Teacher Appreciation week at my school. Chocolates, breakfast and a lunch were provided on different days. There was a Starbucks gift card and a traveling coffee mug given as gifts. Today at our Shabbat Sing program a group of parents sang a song and then a prayer however the best was saved for last when the children were invited to put their hands on our heads and bless us. I told the children too far to reach me to lift their hands up, palms facing me just like the kohenim. Let us recognize each other on a daily basis of being people of worth and worthy of loving.
After nightfall on Friday:
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 thirty-five days which is five weeks of the Omer.
