Join us in a meditative welcome of Shabbat on this 21^st day of counting the Omer—the process of purification as we journey from Pesach to Shavuot, from Exodus to Sinai. Each week of the Omer counting focuses on one of seven of the Sephirot of the Tree of Life—the map in our mystical tradition of ten divine qualities or emanations that inform our humanity. As we prepare ourselves in all four worlds—body, heart, mind and spirit—for Shabbat, we will focus particularly on the qualities given to this day of Tiferet—the beauty of the heart, which emanates most fully when we balance the Sephirah of Chesed (love/mercy) with Gevurah (discernment/judgment).
