We're counting the Omer! Gevurah is also known as "din" and means "judgement." Gevurah is discernment, structure, boundaries. In daily life, Gevurah includes things like setting a boundary without apology, or holding yourself accountable.

Practice: Before saying “yes,” pause and ask: Is this aligned with my capacity and my values?

Reflection: Where do I need stronger boundaries? Where might I be too rigid?

Moadim l'simcha, welcome to the intermediate days of Pesach and the beginning of the Omer. As we move from Egypt to Sinai, we embark on the holy spiritual work of the Omer, the seven weeks between Pesach and Shavuot. During this time, we reflect on the seven sefirot and how we can make them manifest in our own lives. The sefirot are ten divine attributes or channels of divine energy through which HaShem reveals, creates, and sustains the universe. The first three sefirot make up the keter, or crown, and represent the three divine ways of knowing. During the 7 weeks of the Omer, we strive to emulate the remaining seven divine attributes, focusing on one each week. Follow along for weekly posts about the sefirot and our spiritual journey.

Follow along with Rabbi Poirier's instagram account, , to say the blessing and counting the Omer. Then reflect on the Sefirah of the day and the prompts for practice and reflection.

This week, we begin by focusing on Chesed. Chesed is lovingkindness for its own sake, with no agenda. Creation itself is an act of Chesed, like in the song “Olam chesed yibaneh, the world was built with Chesed.”

Practice: Each day, do one generous act even if no one will ever thank you for it.

Reflection: Where does my heart want to open wider?
