READINGS FOR OMER COUNT – DAY 33

Behold, I am about to fulfill the affirmative precept of the counting of the Omer, as it is written in the Torah:

“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Shabbath, from the day that ye brought the Omer of the wave-offering, seven complete weeks they shall be; until the morrow of the seventh Shabbath shall ye number fifty days.”

Blessed art Thou YHWH, our Elohym, King of the universe, who hast set us apart by Thy commandments and hast given us command concerning the counting of the Omer.

This is the thirty-third day, making four weeks and five days of the Omer.

May the All Merciful restore the service of the Temple to its place. May it be Thy will, YHWH our Elohym and Elohym of our fathers, that the Temple be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant our portion in Thy Torah. And there we will serve Thee with awe, as in the days of old and as in ancient years.

May Elohym be favorable unto us and bless us. That Thy way may be known upon the earth, Thy salvation among all nations. Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, Elohym; let all the peoples give thanks unto Thee. Let the nations rejoice and exult: for Thou wilt judge the peoples with equity and lead the nations upon the earth. Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, Elohym; let all the peoples give thanks unto Thee. The earth hath yielded her increase: Elohym, even our Elohym, shall bless us. Elohym shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

READINGS: TEHILLAH 89

I sing of the mercy of YHWH forever; With my mouth I make known Your trustworthiness To all generations.

For I said, “Mercy is built up forever; You establish Your trustworthiness in the heavens.”

You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant Dawiḏ:

I establish your seed forever, And shall build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah.

And the heavens praise Your wonders, O YHWH, Your trustworthiness, too, In the assembly of the set-apart ones.

For who in the heavens is comparable to YHWH? Who among the sons of the mighty is like YHWH?

Ěl is greatly feared In the company of the set-apart ones, And awesome above all those around Him.

O YHWH Elohim of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Yah? And Your trustworthiness is all around You.

You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

You have broken Rahaḇ in pieces, as one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies With the arm of Your strength.

The heavens are Yours, The earth also is Yours; The world and all that fills it. You have founded them.

North and south – You have created them; Taḇor and Ḥermon rejoice in Your Name.

You have a mighty arm, Your hand is strong, Your right hand exalted.

Righteousness and judgment Are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.

Blessed are the people Who know the sounding! They walk, O YHWH, in the light of Your face.

In Your Name they rejoice all day long, And they are exalted in Your righteousness .

For You are the comeliness of their strength, And by Your excellent pleasure our horn is exalted.

For YHWH is our shield, And the Set-apart One of Yisra’ěl is our King.

Then You spoke in a vision to Your merciful one, And You said, “I have given help to one who is mighty, I have exalted one chosen from the people.

“I have found My servant Dawiḏ; With My set-apart oil I anointed him, “With whom My hand is established; My arm also strengthens him.

“No enemy subjects him to tribute, And no son of wickedness afflicts him.

“And I shall beat down His adversaries before his face, And plague those who hate him.

“But My trustworthiness And My mercy are with him, And in My Name his horn is exalted.

“And I shall set his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.

“He calls out to Me, ‘You are my Father, My Ěl, and the rock of my deliverance.’

“I also appoint him first-born, Highest of the kings of the earth.

“I guard My mercy for him forever, And My covenant is steadfast with him.

“And I shall establish his seed forever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

“If his sons forsake My Torah And do not walk in My judgments, “If they profane My laws And do not guard My commands, “Then I shall visit their transgression with the rod, And their crookedness with flogging.

“But My mercy I do not take away from him, Nor be false to My trustworthiness.

“I shall not profane My covenant, Neither would I change what has gone out from My lips.

“Once I have sworn by My set-apartness, I do not lie to Dawiḏ:

“His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me; “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.

Yet You have rejected and spurned, You have been angry with Your anointed.

You have disowned the covenant of Your servant, You have defiled his diadem in the dust.

You have broken down all his hedges, You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

All who pass by the way plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.

You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries, You have made all his enemies rejoice.

Moreover You have turned back the edge of his sword, And have not made him stand in battle.

You have brought an end to his splendor, And have hurled his throne to the ground.

You have shortened the days of his youth, You have covered him with shame. Selah.

How long, O YHWH, would You be hidden? Would Your wrath burn like fire forever?

Please remember how short my time is; Why should you have created all the sons of men for naught?

What man would live and not see death? Who rescues his life from the power of She’ol? Selah.

YHWH, where are Your former mercies, Which You swore to Dawiḏ in Your trustworthiness?

YHWH, remember the reproach of Your servants, That I have borne in my bosom – Of all the many peoples, With which Your enemies have reproached, O YHWH, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

Blessed be YHWH forever! Aměn and Aměn.

READINGS: MISHLE 21:1-15

The king’s heart is as channels of water In the hand of YHWH; He turns it wherever He wishes.

All a man’s ways are right in his own eyes, But YHWH weighs the hearts.

To do righteousness and judgment Is more acceptable to YHWH than a sacrifice.

A haughty look, a proud heart, The lamp of the wrong, are sin.

The plans of the hard worker lead only to plenty, But all rash haste only to poverty.

Gaining treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapour, heading for death.

The spoil of the wrong catches them, Because they refused to do judgment.

The way of a guilty man is perverse; But as for the innocent, his work is right.

It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

The desire of the wrong is set upon evil; His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

The righteous one understands the house of the wrong; He overthrows the wrong for their evil.

Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, Let him also cry and not be heard.

A gift in secret subdues displeasure, And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.

To do judgment is joy to the righteous, But ruin to the workers of wickedness.

READINGS: AVOTH 4:16-17

Rabbi Yehudah said, be cautious in teaching, for an error in teaching may amount to presumptuous sin.

Rabbi Shim’on said, there are three crowns: the crown of Torah, the crown of the Kehunnah, and the crown of the Kingdom; but the crown of an excellent name excels them all.

It's best during winter when they cuddle up like that. Some exchange of free heat. 😊

the powers that be have this itch to make 1,000 year reichs.
repurposing that stone for a new power fits that bill.
only their obsolete remnants, if at all, last the course.
