Description
Counting of the Omer, 'Sefirat HaOmer' is the ritual performed for the 49 days between the second day of Passover and the next festival of Shavuot. Each day, we count and remember the sheaf of grain that was offered during Temple times. This period not only marks the beginning of the barley harvest but connects our liberation from slavery to our redemption at Mt. Sinai, with the giving of the Torah.
Kabbalistically, we utilize these days to delve into the attributes of our souls with the intention of improving our characters. Each week, we study one of the lower seven sefirot: Strength, Loving-Kindness, Beauty, Victory, Awe, Foundation, and Kingship. The top three, represent the attributes of the mind: Understanding , Knowledge, and Wisdom. The sefirot are topped with the crown.
In this visual expression, the configuration of the sefirot and the barley offering are superimposed over the image of the tablets that were given to our people at Sinai.
Each sefirah has an assigned color. Beauty (Tiferet) is purple and the midpoint in the sefirot configuration. Besides anchoring the arrangement of the 10 sefirot, it merges the two sefirot on either side: Loving-Kindness (Chesed) and Strength (Gevurah). The same purple was chosen to anchor the design with the arches of the tablets.
