Shavuot count-down: Day 35 of counting the Omer. Using Kabbalistic symbology for counting the Omer - the days between the 2nd night of Pesach and the start of Shavuot - tonight begins the Malchut of Hod: Nobility in Humility. Rabbi Simon Jacobson's meditation for this day of the Omer:
Walking humbly is walking tall. Dignity is the essence of humility and modesty. The splendor of humility is majestic and aristocratic. Humility that suppresses the human spirit and denies individual sovereignty is not humility at all. Does my humility make me feel dignified? Do I feel alive and vibrant?
We have now moved through all of the combinations of the 7 lower sephirot with the the sephira of Hod. Tomorrow begins the week of the sephira of Yesod.
