because of Your righteous judgments.

and do Your mitzvot.
¹⁶⁷ My soul has observed Your testimonies
and I love them exceedingly.
¹⁶⁸ I observe Your precepts and Your laws,
for all my ways are before You.

By Rabbi Simon Jacobson DAY 21      MALCHUT OF TIFERET: Nobility in Compassion

Friday evening, May 6  we count twenty one days of the Omer. 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? 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? Exercise for the day:  Rather than just giving charity, help the needy help themselves in a fashion that strengthens their dignity.
