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 8, Shavuot countdown: Day 7 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:

Malchut of Chesed: Nobility in Lovingkindness. Mature love comes with - and brings - personal dignity. An intimate feeling of nobility and regality. Knowing your special place and contribution in this world. Any love that is debilitating and breaks the human spirit is no love at all. For love to be complete it must have the dimension of personal sovereignty.

Exercise for the day: Highlight an aspect of your love that has bolstered your spirit and enriched your life…and celebrate

Tonight also begins the 8th and last day of Pesach. In the morning we include one of the four Yizkor services of the year.

Zack Berger and family are in China throughout Pesach (as part of Zach's medical training). He's continuing his blog, and she's started one. Watch them navigate Chinese culinary customs and Passover dietary restrictions at the same time.

Love overcomes a great deal of sin.
