One of the fundamental principles in life is to share or give back when you either acquire something, learn something, or generally "make good."  I've been trying to follow this tenet lately by blogging as much as possible, and talking about what I've learned about and through the study of Kabbalah. 

One of my newest blogs is called [: shomer] which in Hebrew means "to guard," or "to keep."  [:Shomer] asks the reader questions at the start such as (for example) what is our ultimate responsibility in life?  This blog is an experiment of mine where I'm attempting not only to discover the answer to such questions but also to learn which questions to keep asking.  The focus is on spirituality with an emphasis on Kabbalah, and additionally, I'm hoping to show others that one way that helps us answer the important questions is by using the spiritual tools of "guarding or keeping" spiritual precepts that serve to align us with Divine will. 

The current focus of the site right now is on the spiritual importance of Counting the Omer. 

Note:  This Sunday, May 6th is Lag B'Omer the 33rd day of the Omer.  This day signifies the passing of the author of the Sefer Ha-Zohar, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, and is a day of immense energy and Light.  To learn more about the Rashbi please go here and here.
