7 Iyar 5772
Tonight is 23 Days to the Omer
WEEK 4 ― NESSAH ― ENDURANCE
During the fourth week of counting the Omer, we examine and refine the emotional attribute of Nessah. Nessah means endurance, fortitude and ambition and is a combination of determination and tenacity. It is a balance of patience, persistence and guts. Endurance is also being reliable and accountable, which establishes security and commitment.
Without endurance, any good endeavor or intention has no chance of success. Endurance means to be alive, to be driven by what counts. It is the readiness to fight for what you believe, to go all the way. This, of course, requires that endurance be closely examined to ensure that it is used in a healthy and productive manner.
Day 22 ― Chesed of Nessah: Loving-kindness in Endurance
For anything to endure it needs to be loved. A neutral or indifferent attitude will reflect in a marginal commitment. If you have difficulty making commitments, examine how much you love and enjoy the object that requires your commitment. Do I love my work? My family? My choices? For endurance to be effective it needs to be caring and loving. Does my endurance cause me to be, or seem to be, inflexible? Does my drive and determination cause me to be controlling? Am I too demanding? Do others (my employees, friends, children) cooperate with me out of the sheer force of my will and drive, or out of love?
Exercise for the day: When fighting for something you believe in, pause a moment to ensure that it is accomplished in a loving manner.
It will be a 4 class series and it's something that you won't want to miss out on!
If interested, please email me back for more information.
The cost is $40 for all 4 classes and the payment could be made online on www.gosephardic.com - just go to the category of donations and specify that it's for the girls halakha class. Thank you!
