Sefirat haOmer — Words of Torah (my blog!) — Rabbi Amy Josefa Ariel (she/her)

Two Days of the Omer

Day Two of the Omer

Gevurah of Chesed
Boundaries/Discipline in Lovingkindness

I’m thinking about Yitro, Moses’s father-in-law and priest of Midian. I can see him there, just ahead of us. His eyes are sparkling as he walks with Caleb and Joshua. It’s hard to say what they might be talking about, but I think Joshua is . . . laughing? Yeah. He’s definitely laughing.

One Day of the Omer

You are enough for this story . . . you are an omer.
And me, too.

And this day?
This day is an omer.
This day is enough.
This first day.
Day one.
