Thursday, 16th of Elul, 5774

Thursday is the second day of Week 50, the week of  Chochmah (Wisdom). Weeks 50-52 are equivalent to "Shavuot" of this year and Passover of the year that is to come.

Thursday is also the fifteenth day of the sixteenth 22-day cycle of the year, related to the letter Tzadi Sofit (the final Tzadi). The following segment from Chapter 1 of the Book of Nachum is connected to the fifteenth letter, the Samech:

10. For, while the thorns are entangled and the drunkards are drinking, they are consumed like dry stubble,

י. כִּי עַד סִירִים סְבֻכִים וּכְסָבְאָם סְבוּאִים אֻכְּלוּ כְּקַשׁ יָבֵשׁ
