Tuesday, 30th of Av, Rosh Chodesh Elul, 5774

Tuesday is the seventh day of Week 47 and the thirty-fifth day of the cycle of Malchut (Kingship), Malchut shebeHod shebeMalchut, Kingship within Glory/Acknowledgement within Kingship.

Tuesday is also the twenty-first day of the fifteenth 22-day cycle of the year, related to the letter Peh Sofit (the final Peh). Although this chapter also has 22 verses, it is not openly an acrostic. However, there is a way to rearrange the verses. The following verse ( ) from Chapter 5 of the Book of Lamentations is connected to the twenty-first letter, the Shin:

15. The joy of our heart has ceased, our dancing has turned into mourning.

טו. שָׁבַת מְשׂוֹשׂ לִבֵּנוּ נֶהְפַּךְ לְאֵבֶל מְחוֹלֵנוּ:
Obs: Chapter 5 of Lamentations works as an acrostic if you take the three verses that begin with 'Al, עַל , and apply them as above for the letter Gimmel, Dalet and Samech (which is an exception). Furthermore, for the letter Tet, take the first letter of the second word in verse 13. Also, for those verses for which the first letter appears in more than one verse, use only one verse and take the second letter of the remaining verses
