CHABAD.ORG Day One of Week 4: Chesed of Netzach 22nd Day of the Omer (7 Iyar) By Simon Jacobson

Week Four - Netzach Endurance and ambition is a combination of determination and tenacity. It is a balance of patience, persistence and guts. Endurance is also being reliable and accountable, which establishes security and commitment. Without endurance, any good endeavor or intention has no chance of success.

CHABAD.ORG Day Seven of Week 3: Malchut of Tiferet 21st Day of the Omer (6 Iyar Yom Hatzmut) By Simon Jacobson

Examine the dignity of your compassion. For compassion to be complete (and enhance the other six aspects of compassion) it must recognize and appreciate individual sovereignty. It should boost self-esteem and cultivate human dignity. Both your own dignity and the dignity of the one benefiting from your compassion. Is my compassion expressed in a dignified manner? Do I manifest and emphasize majesty in my compassion? Does it elicit dignity in others? Do I recognize the fact that when I experience compassion as dignified it will reflect reciprocally in the one who receives compassion?

CHABAD.ORG Day Six of Week 3: Yesod of Tiferet 20th Day of the Omer (5 Iyar Yom Hazikaron) By Simon Jacobson

For compassion to be fully realized, it needs bonding. It requires creating a channel between giver and receiver. A mutuality that extends beyond the moment of need. A bond that continues to live on. That is the most gratifying result of true compassion. Do you bond with the one you have compassion for, or do you remain apart? Does your interaction achieve anything beyond a single act of sympathy?

CHABAD.ORG Day Five of Week 3: Hod of Tiferet 19th Day of the Omer(4 Iyar) By Simon Jacobson

Compassion must include humility for it not to be condescending and pretentious. Hod is recognizing that my ability to be compassionate and giving does not make me better than the recipient; it is the acknowledgement and appreciation that by creating one who needs compassion G‑d gave me the gift of being able to bestow compassion. Thus there is no place for haughtiness in compassion. Do I feel superior because I am compassionate? Do I look down at those that need my compassion?
