Tuesday, 2nd of Av, 5774

Tuesday is the seventh day of Week 43 and the seventh day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Malchut shebeChesed shebeMalchut, Kingship within Kindness within Kingship. This week also represents the "Shavuot" and "Shivah Yemei Miluim" of the cycle of Yesod (Foundation).

Tuesday is also the fifteenth 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 fifteenth letter, the Samech:

15. "Depart, unclean!" they called out to them, "Depart, depart, do not touch!" for they are foul, even slipping; they said, "They shall no more sojourn among the nations."

טו. סוּרוּ טָמֵא קָרְאוּ לָמוֹ סוּרוּ סוּרוּ אַל תִּגָּעוּ כִּי נָצוּ גַּם נָעוּ אָמְרוּ בַּגּוֹיִם לֹא יוֹסִפוּ לָגוּר:

This verse again can be interpreted positively if applied to Israel's enemies.
