Rabbi Hanna Tiferet Siegel, at the wonderful opening ceremony she hosted at this year’s Aleph Kallah said:  “When I first met Reb Zalman in 1972, he spoke about the unexplored Sefirah of Hod, the emanation of glory and beauty experienced through the senses.   He said, ‘That would be our work.’  Here’s Chaplain Gloria’s meditation for the week of Hod.  Gabbai Seth Fishman, BLOG Editor.

In his lecture on zman / time from the Yishmiru Daat dvd available from Aleph, Reb Zalman says:

“We don’t have the sense of noticing the tides of time anymore, because what has happened is that commodity time has been taken over….  The sense we once had that we were working so we could have ‘being time’ is gone.” 

Chaplain Gloria Krasno helps us to do the work needed for this season, to help us to focus on counting the Omer and the associated combinations of Sefirot.  Here’s her mediations for Malchut.  May she be blessed for her holy work.  Gabbai Seth Fishman, BLOG Editor

Only two weeks left.  Thank you Chaplain Gloria!  Gabbai Seth Fishman, BLOG Editor
