I will walk in the Presence of the One in the lands of life.
-Psalm 116:9
May we walk the OmerFrom the second day of Passover until Shavuot, Jews count seven weeks – seven times seven days – to commemorate the period between the Exodus from Egypt and the Revelation at Sinai. When the Temple stood, a certain measure (omer) of barley was offered on the altar each day; today, we merely count out the days. Journey
For the sake of each other and all life. May our steps be aligned for abundant healing, Deep connection,
And abiding, expansive peace.
Blessed is the Mystery, Source of All
Who gives us life, raises us up and brings us to this moment.
Rabbi YaelA female character in the Book of Judges who is instrumental in the Israelites' obtaining the victory that Deborah had prophesied. When she encountered the enemy king Sisera, Yael invites him into her tent. She feeds him milk to make him drowsy and, when he fell asleep, she murders him by driving a tent peg through his temple.
