One Halakha Closer to Becoming an Eshet Hayil

BS''D
28 Iyar 5772
Tonight is 44 Days to the Omer

**Today is the Hiloula of Shemuel HaNavi. Light a candle, give sedaka and daven in his zekhout!

WEEK 7 ― MALKHUT ― SOVEREIGNTY, LEADERSHIP

During the seventh and final week of counting the Omer, we examine and refine the attribute of Malkhut ― nobility, sovereignty and leadership. Sovereignty is a state of being rather than an activity. Nobility is a passive expression of human dignity that has nothing of its own except that which it receives from the other six emotions. True leadership is the art of selflessness; it is only a reflection of a Higher will. On the other hand, Malkhut manifests and actualizes the character and majesty of the human spirit. It is the very fiber of what makes us human.

Day 43 ― Hesed of Malkhut: Loving-kindness in Nobility

Healthy sovereignty is always kind and loving. An effective leader needs to be warm and considerate. Does my sovereignty make me more loving? Do I exercise my authority and leadership in a caring manner? Do I impose my authority on others?

Exercise for the day: Do something kind for your subordinates
