CHABAD.ORG Day One of Week 5: Chesed of Hod 29th Day of the Omer (14 Iyar Pesach Sheini) By Simon Jacobson

Week Five - Hod If endurance is the engine of life humility is its fuel. As gevurah (discipline) gives chesed (love) focus, hod gives netzach direction. Humility is the silent partner of endurance. Its strength is in its silence. Its splendor in its repose. Humility leads to yielding, which is an essential element of Humility - and the resulting yielding - should not be confused with weakness and lack of self-esteem.
