Short thought   And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow of the Shabbat, from the day on which you bring the Omer offering, seven complete weeks they shall be… (23:15) The word sefirah, “counting”, also means “illumination.” On each of the forty-nine days of the Sefirat HaOmer (“Counting of the Omer”), we refine, develop, and illuminate another of the forty-nine traits of our soul. (Rabbi DovBer, the Maggid of Mezeritch)   Humor Sally was driving home from one of her business trips, in Northern Arizona, when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried – in vain – to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally. “What in bag?” asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and said: “It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.” The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then, speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: “Good trade . . .” Moshiach and the Future Redemption   From the dawn of time, G-d envisioned for Himself a “dwelling place” right here on Planet Earth. And He put us here to fashion this home. To transform darkness into light.

 The Rhinebeck Jewish Center is a project of Chabad Dutchess.
