Day Thirty-seven
28th of Iyyar 5781 – from sundown on May 9th to sundown on May 10th, 2021
Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day)
Begin by reciting the blessing:
ברוך אתה יהוה אלוהינו , מלך העולם , אשר קדשנו במצותי
v'tizivanu al sefirat ha'omer.
Recite the day of the count:
היום שבעה ושלשים יום שהם חמשה שבועות ושני ימים לעמר
Psalm 67: 4-7 (NKJV 49 word Paraphrase)
The Sefirot for day thirty-seven is: Gevurah of Yesod: Strength (discipline) in Bonding. Though bonding with others is vital to our growth as God’s chosen people, we must also recognize that everyone is entitled to their own “personal space” and remember to observe appropriate boundaries in our relationships with others.
Suggested activity for today: Examine your closest relationships and see if there is any evidence that you may be violating the boundaries that should be maintained in healthy relationships.
Suggested reading from the weekly Torah portion: BaMidbar – 2nd reading: Numbers 1:20-54
Suggested reading from the Brit Hadashah: 1 Cor 12:12-31; Rev 7:4-8
Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day)
v'tizivanu al sefirat ha'omer.
Let the peoples praise You, God; For You shall judge the people righteously, And govern all the nations on earth. Let everyone praise You, God; Let all people praise You. Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, shall bless us, And all the earth shall fear Him.
Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that You preserve and protect Your people who are called by your holy Name. Forgive us, shine your face on us and heal our land that has been defiled by the shedding of innocent blood. Sovereign of the universe, You have commanded us through Moses Your servant to count the days of the omer, in order to purify and cleanse us. Therefore, may it be Your will, Lord our God and God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that in the counting of the omer which I (we) have counted today, I (we) may be purified and sanctified. And through my (our) obedience to your commandments, may Your abundant bounty be granted all the world. May it rectify our soul and our spirit from every impurity and evil intent, and may it purify and sanctify us with all your holiness.
Abba, father, on this, the thirty-seventh day of the counting of the omer, we remember your bountiful kindnesses to the Israelites, how when they departed from Dophkah and camped at Alush near Horeb, you continued teaching and preparing them for the great events which were soon to come. And we remember how Yeshua directed His disciples to go to the Mount of Olives where He would give them His final instructions. We humbly ask that You in the same way, prepare us for the events soon to come and guide our steps to follow the plan You desire for our lives. Amen.
After the reciting the prayer, continue to pray and meditate on how events in our lives may serve to prepare us for momentous things to come.
