Today is the 19th day of the Omer “Hod Shebe Tiferet” ( Humility in Compassion). Also today we celebrate Yom Hatzmaut. Israel’s Birthday !!!! The proper way to celebrate this day is with GRATITUDE to H”S for all the goodness He gives us. Hod (humility) is the ability to recognize Who gives us everything and Who made us. We didn’t make ourselves! Celebrating Israel’s Independence Day without gratitude is like saying “I’m celebrating my Independence from G-d”.
Let’s celebrate today by acknowledging where our blessings come from and let’s say thank you to G-d by doing something for Him. This is Hod Shebe Tiferet.
An analogy would be like if you help someone who has no home, you bring them in to live with you, you give them a room, clothes, food and even find him a job. Then this person denies all the good you did for him saying that he pulled himself up alone and you mistreated him. When we don’t recognize where the goodness comes from we become arrogant and insensitive.
Let’s do the opposite!
Happy Birthday my beloved Israel ❤️
