Omer 2019 Day 9: Gevurah in Gevurah, Strength in Strength

Pack Animals (donkeys, oxen, horses, camels, etc)

Human society was built on the backs of animals that can carry and pull heavy loads. These pack animals have incredible strength and helped us move people, building materials, and trade goods across long, sometimes treacherous distances. The camel, for instance, can carry over 600 pounds on its back. Through the strength of these animals, we are able to strengthen ourselves.

This year's animal Omer is a collaboration between myself and my friend Halli, a PhD in animal science. Thank you for counting the Omer with us!
