CHABAD.ORG SPIRITUAL GUIDE TO THE OMER Day One of Week 2: Chesed of Gevurah 8th Day of the Omer(23 NISAN) By Simon Jacobson

Week Two - Gevurah If love (chesed) is the bedrock of human expression, discipline (gevurah) is the channels through which we express love. It gives our life and love direction and focus. Take a laser beam: Its potency lies in the focus and concentration of light in one direction rather than fragmented light beams dispersed in all different directions. Gevurah - discipline and measure - concentrates and directs our efforts, our love in the proper directions. Another aspect of gevurah is - respect and awe. Healthy love requires respect for the one you love.
