Remember that each week there is a “lead” sefira and each of the others is put “within” that lead. 

The sixth week of the Omer focuses on Yesod. This sefira is usually interpreted as Connection,  Foundation, or Bonding.

So that means we’ve journeyed from Chesed (Loving Kindness) to Gevurah (Strength) to Tiferet (Beauty/Compassion) to Netzach (Endurance/Victory) to Hod (Gratitude/Receiving/Glory) and now to Yesod.

The sixth week, which explores Yesod (Connection), looks like this:

1. Loving-kindness within Connection

2. Strength within Connection

3. Compassion (Beauty) within Connection

4. Endurance within Connection

5. Gratitude/Receiving within Connection

6. Connection within Connection

7. Majesty within Connection
