About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Pesach Day 6, Shavuot countdown: Day 5 of counting the Omer

All Pesach entries here.
More on counting the omer here.

Rabbi Simon Jacobson's meditation for this day of the Omer:

Hod of Chesed: Humility in Lovingkindness. You can often get locked in love and be unable to forgive your beloved or to bend or compromise your position. Hod introduces the aspect of humility in love; the ability to rise above yourself and forgive or give in to the one you love just for the sake of love even if you're convinced that you're right. Arrogant love is not love.

Exercise for the day: Swallow your pride and reconcile with a loved one with whom you have quarreled.

If it is day 6, I don't need to buy more Matzah. Does anybody want a couple of boxes of whole-wheat?
