Day 16 of counting the Omer
Rabbi Simon Jacobson's meditation for this day of the Omer: (More on counting the omer here.)
Gevurah of Tiferet: Discipline in Compassion. For compassion to be effective and healthy it needs to be disciplined and focused. It requires discretion both to whom you express compassion, and in the measure of the compassion itself. It is recognizing when compassion should be expressed and when it should be withheld or limited. Discipline in compassion is knowing that being truly compassionate sometimes requires withholding compassion. Because compassion is not an expression of the bestower's needs but a response to the recipient's needs.Exercise for the day: Express your compassion in a focused and constructive manner by addressing someone’s specific needs.
