Day 49: Malchut within Malchut, Leadership within Leadership
What does it mean to be the chosen people, a light unto the nations? Tonight, we will celebrate Shavuot with Torah study and cheesecake to commemorate God giving us the Torah at Mount Sinai. The Torah is meant to guide our lives, to tell us how to live a good, moral, and holy life, and in doing so, to bring us closer to God. We are meant to be a nation of leaders. We value life, freedom, education, hard work, etc, and we are meant to model those values for others. We lead by example and teach others to be leaders too.
If that sounds easy, it's not. There is a reason that malchut within malchut falls on the last day of the Omer. Sometimes it is easier to do a task for someone than to teach them to do it for themselves, but a good leader is able to teach others to do and think for themselves.
Mazel tov! We've made it to the end of the Omer and hopefully gained some insights into ourselves and the world around us.
