Day 2 Gevurah she b’Chsed
Posted by RabbiMin in uncategorized on March 28, 2013
Day 2 of Omer counting
Gevurah she b’Chesed
Appropriate boundaries within endless lovingkindness
How necessary are those boundaries, defined with love. This is the essence of ‘tough love’, or parenting, or dog training (which I’m in the midst of). Personally, if I don’t remember to set those boundaries, to exercise restraint, I have a tendency to just give and give and give…and then end up exhausted, or frustrated. Self-care is discernment, well applied.
Blessings to all for careful self-care for this day of counting. Remembering, that, in the grand scheme of things, YOU count.

Tiferet she b’Chesed
Harmony/Balance within Lovingkindness
If we think of Chesed as endless flow of endless Love, then Harmony within that flow turns it into melody, the music of compassion. Keeping balance in the complex lives we lead is challenging….we can, today, focus on the availability of the exact amounts of the rights kinds of compassion that will help us readjust to changing realities. Facing tragedies of death or major accidents, challenges of mental illness or chronic health conditions, the demands of dynamic work requirements and the needs of family and friends, we need to keep ourselves in balance. Tiferet she b’Chesed helps us.
