Shavuot count-down: Day 42 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 Yesod: Nobility in Bonding. Rabbi Simon Jacobson's meditation for this day of the Omer:
Bonding must enhance a person's sovereignty. It should nurture and strengthen your own dignity and the dignity of the one you bond with. Does my bonding inhibit the expression of my personality and qualities? Does it overwhelm the one I bond with?
We have now moved through all of the combinations of the 7 lower sephirot with the the sephira of Yesod. Tomorrow begins the last week of the Omer, in the sephira of Malchut.
