Two Forms of Action: Embodying the Kabbalistic Forces of Netzach and Hod
Manage episode 362777057 series 3229477
In honor of Lag B'Omer, I succinctly recount the Jewish mystical practice of embodying God's attributes during the period of Counting the Omer. Specifically, in the transition to the week of Lag B'Omer, we transition from practicing in our lives the form of leadership that involves pushing people, and yourself, to get through tasks, the kind of action in which you feel you're carrying people to the finish line so the team gets there, to a different mode of leadership from God's attributes, the leader who says little at the team meeting, and then when they need to, utters just a few humble words (like "Isn't who we are really about X?") that change everything.
Netzach (pushing through) and Hod (winning by stepping aside, like in martial arts) interplay.
