Counting the Omer Day 10: Balance Within Strength
The strength to yield
The willingness to hold our judgements lightly
The radiance of a generous heart that sees clearly
and guides us in valuing what is difficult, what is different

Meditation
As I light this candle, I vow never to forget the lives of the Jewish men, women, and children who were martyred and are symbolized by this flame. They were tortured and brutalized by human beings who acted like beasts; their lives were taken in cruelty. May we be inspired to learn more about our six million brothers and sisters as individuals and as communities, to recall their memory throughout the year, so that they will not suffer a double death. May we recall not only the terror of their deaths, but also the splendor of their lives. May the memory of their lives inspire us to hallow our own lives and to live meaningful Jewish lives so that we may help to insure that part of who they were shall endure always.
MAY THEIR MEMORY BE A BLESSING FOR US ALL.”
“THOSE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THE PAST
ARE CONDEMNED TO RELIVE IT.”
