Sunday, 29th of Tammuz, 5774

Sunday is the fifth day of Week 43 and the fifth day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Hod shebeChesed shebeMalchut, Glory/Acknowledgement within Kindness within Kingship. This week also represents the "Shavuot" and "Shivah Yemei Miluim" of the cycle of Yesod (Foundation).

Sunday is also the thirteenth day of the fourteenth 22-day cycle of the year, related to the letter Nun Sofit (the final Nun). The following verse from Chapter 3 of the Book of Lamentations is connected to the thirteenth letter, the Mem:

13. [It was] for the sins of her prophets, the iniquities of her priests, who shed in her midst the blood of the righteous.

יג. מֵחַטֹּאת נְבִיאֶיהָ עֲו‍ֹנֹת כֹּהֲנֶיהָ הַשֹּׁפְכִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ דַּם צַדִּיקִים:

This verse can be interpreted positively as follows:



13. [To depart] from the sins - her prophets, [from] the iniquities - her priests, who shed in her midst the blood [of the sacrifices] of the righteous.
