Harmony in love is one that blends both the chesed and gevurah aspects of love. Harmonized love includes empathy and compassion. Love is often given with the expectation of receiving love in return. Compassionate love is given freely; expects nothing in return – even when the other doesn’t deserve love. Tiferet is giving also to those who have hurt you.(More on counting the Omer here)
And it's still Pesach, which means a chance to sing Hallel and eat matzah for another few days. Hallel is one of my favorite parts of the liturgy, especially with a congregation that likes to sing.
