Sefiras HaOmer: Sefiras HaHod

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of מידת ההוד within the framework of Sefiras HaOmer, emphasizing hiddenness and inner truth.

This dvar Torah uses the Maharal (in the third introduction to *Gevurot Hashem*) to frame the seven weeks of Sefirat HaOmer as a progression through seven divine מידות, anchored in a sugya in Berachot that maps them onto the pasuk “לך ה׳ הגדולה...” The focus is on מידת ההוד: its connection to hiddenness (צפון), to הודאה/תודה as “admitting” what could have been denied, and to healing as restoring balance. Through the episode of נַחֲלֵי אַרְנוֹן and the role of אהרן הכהן, the talk develops Hod as the capacity to reveal and acknowledge inner truth—whether in Hashem’s hidden salvations or in the hidden goodness within people.
