Count the Omer: Day 41

Days 39 & 40 | Day 42

Yesod sheb'Yesod, Connection within Connection

Together in the Desert

We are so close to Shavuot. The Israelites and "mixed multitudes" who left Egypt 41 days ago have won a war together against Amalek and begun to create a societal structure by appointing judges to help Moses. In connecting with each other, they bring themselves closer to their spiritual connection to God. In turn, receiving the Torah at Sinai will make them a "people," the people of the Book, God's chosen nation.
