Shavuot count-down: Day 36 of counting the Omer. Using Kabbalistic symbology for counting the Omer - the days between the 2nd night of Pesach and the start of Shavuot - we have travelled through all of the combinations of the 7 lower sephirot with the the sephira of Hod. Tonight we begin 7 days of combining these sephirot with the sephira of Yesod, beginning with Chesed of Yesod: Lovingkindness of Bonding. Rabbi Simon Jacobson's meditation for this day of the Omer:
Love is the heart of bonding. You cannot bond without love. Love establishes a reliable base on which bonding can build. If you have a problem bonding, examine how much you love the one (or the experience) with which you wish to bond. Do I try to bond without first fostering a loving attitude? Is my bonding expressed in a loving manner?
(More on counting the Omer here. More on Yesod here.)
