MAJESTY IN MOUNTAINS - day 21 MALCHUT sh b'TIFERET

PSALMS OF MY SOUL
ספירת העומר

Kabbalistic Sephirat HaOmer
Malchut sh b'Tiferet - day 21, 3 full weeks of 7 Sephirot

Majesty in Mountain Beauty
"From where does my help come?"
"I shall lift my eyes to the mountain." Psalm 121.

How do we reach the mountain, when seemingly so far?
Bring it all down to the fullest day of Malchut in our week of Tiferet.
What cloud of Glory covers our personal mountain?

more majesty:


A few years ago when leaving to do a mitzvah, to prepare and set up a home for a friend Moriah's, z"l, funeral for a 'condolence meal' and Shiva for the returning family and friends, I dreaded the drive toward the home into the mountain. Past experiences, I felt fear along the cliff edges, and rocky winding roads. This time, early morning, I looked far for miles into the distance and lifted my eyes as in Psalm 121, and my Help came to easily fly me on angel's wings into the mountain. I also made it alone back down. 

My gentle and generous friend, named for a mountain, Moriah, had great courage to live in her beauty and balance, and had lifted her eyes many times through the clouds toward the Glory of G*d. I was blessed to know Moriah.
