Deciphering the Sephirah (Counting the Omer)
The seven weeks of Omer Counting started on the morrow of
Pesach
so far, we counted
one week and two days, keeping an eye on our goal
Sephirah is all about counting up – to a countdown to Chag
Shavuot
when we received
the Ten Commandments on two Tablets
Sapphire is the stone from which the Tablets were hewn
delivered to us by
none other than the prophet Moses
Superman is only a fantasy; us mortals however do it slowly
our mission these
days is clear: a daily improvement regimen
Safer to stand on firm ground and work our way up - step by
step
no point trying to
imitate fiction characters for short-lived thrills
Cypher conceals the layers of mystery shrouding the meaning
of
Sephirot or Middot
– the personal qualities we ought to aspire to
So that by the time we count day forty-nine and are ready
to look forward to
a new ‘me’, have the cheesecake AND eat it!
