✡︎ Shalom and Good Day, Friends ✡︎
We are in the midst of the Omer count, day 27 of 49 tonight. The 49-day "Counting of the Omer" retraces our ancestors' seven-week spiritual journey from the Exodus to Sinai. Each evening we recite a special blessing and count the days and weeks that have passed since the Omer; the 50th day is Shavuot, the festival celebrating the Giving of the Torah at Sinai.
Each night we reflect on a different combination of human personality traits that, when applied according to Torah principles, elevates and purifies our souls as we prepare to receive the sacred law. At Sinai, all of Israel was united and committed to the unprecedented idea of life based in God consciousness instead of selfishness.
Tonight's reflection combines bonding with ambition, meaning that loyal commitment to a cause demonstrated by action must accompany ambition for ambition to succeed. Our ambition is to restore a right to life to all humanity as endowed by our Creator, who gave us the law at Sinai. We pray our efforts will be successful, and encourage you to share our educational resources in your online community and neighborhood.
Today's newsletter presents the video from our recent show from Jerusalem, a short birth story video by our friend, Don, new memes, Rabbi MIller's remarks on the coverup of the Holocaust, so relevant to the coverup of today's abortion genocide, and a related piece on censorship now and then.
Welcome and thank you to our new subscribers and donors.
Cecily
May there be abundant peace from Heaven, and good life upon us and upon all Israel. Amen.
