"Judgment out of balance can lead to severity, cruitely, critical gossip, enmity or violence. Without harmonizing influences, judgment is the source of prejudice and intolerance. Adding heart and balance to the strength of discernment helps us to remember that appropriate choices are necessary if we are to live with others harmoniously, acting with righteous intent toward others and ourselves" (Counting the Omer: A Kabbalistic Meditation Guide, p.78).

"Just as too much water can drown a plant, and too little can parch it, the precise irrigation that an observant gardener provides can nurture strong plants without wasting water. Similarly, Gevurah, careful discernment, can fine-tune the flow of Hesed, aiming it for clarity, shape, and effectiveness. Hesed alone would be like drowning in spiritual chicken soup. Instead, the soup needs to be carefully ladled out, into manageable portions (Counting the Omer: A Kabbalistic Meditation Guide, p.42)" For other days of the Omer, please click here
