Day 49 of counting the Omer
The countdown from Pesach to Shavuot is almost over, the journey from Egypt to Sinai is almost complete: Shavuot begins tomorrow night. Are you ready to accept the Torah?
I have been remiss in not sharing with you other omer observances from the blogosphere. I kept meaning to, along with all the other posts in the pipeline. Mah Rabu has been counting much more creatively than I have, mixing national politics, Jewish community politics, Torah, and math: here, here, here, here, here, and here.
Shai Gluskin has been counting with evocative photographs and philosophy and personal reminiscences.
Onward to the last meditation from Rabbi Jacobson:
Rabbi Simon Jacobson's meditation for this day of the Omer: (More on counting the omer here.)
Malchut of Malchut: Nobility in Nobility. Examine the sovereignty of your sovereignty. Does it come from deep-rooted inner confidence in myself? Or is it just a put-on to mask my insecurities? Does that cause my sovereignty to be excessive? Am I aware of my uniqueness as a person? Of my personal contribution?Exercise for the day: Take a moment and concentrate on yourself, on your true inner self, not on your performance and how you project to others; and be at peace with yourself knowing that G-d created a very special person which is you.
