okay jumblr it’s weird halacha opinion time: sefira music edition
In an attempt to not go insane i found a random sefira friendly playlist on spotify and have now stumbled into a meaningless but perhaps fun to consider question.
the music issue during sefirat haomer is ostensibly that INSTRUMENTAL music is a no go while a capella is totally fine. My assumption (which obviously i am open to disagreement on, and would actually be interested to hear any dissenting views!!) is that synthesised music counts as instrumental even if a given sample wasn’t recorded from a traditional instrument and is 100% digitally generated
THAT SAID: what do we reckon about vocal synth? I’m counting both vocaloids and digital pitch correction here as two seperate instances but still related
Some of these songs are very chassidishe so i have to imagine that pitch correction isn’t *technically* an issue but these same songs sound more like synth than actual synth songs with the sheer level of pitch correction (and let’s be real, a good producer can make it very subtle so idk wtf they have going on)
The vocaloid question is probably more up in the air but i also have no idea if there exists any vocaloid a capella so it could be entirely theoretical (not that judaism is averse to this kind of questioning on entirely theoretical scenarios)
Anyway this seemed like an interesting discussion waiting to happen so I’m curious to see what other people think lol

Este curso apresenta os conceitos fundamentais da sabedoria da Kabbalah, explicando como a realidade espiritual e material está interligada por meio de leis fixas e universais. O estudo dessas leis revela a estrutura oculta da criação e oferece um método prático para o desenvolvimento espiritual do ser humano.
A Kabbalah descreve o Criador como uma força de doação e amor absoluto, cuja intenção é preencher a criação com abundância infinita. Para isso, foi criado o “desejo de receber”, que constitui a essência de todas as partes da criação – do inanimado ao nível falante (a humanidade). Este desejo é a base de nosso comportamento e evolução, manifestando-se em diferentes formas ao longo dos níveis do desenvolvimento.
Um conceito essencial discutido é o "ponto no coração", uma centelha espiritual que desperta no ser humano e o conduz a buscar o significado da vida e o propósito de sua existência. Este ponto representa o início da jornada em direção à revelação do Criador, guiando o indivíduo na busca por respostas para questões existenciais mais profundas.
Além disso, a Kabbalah ensina que a realidade espiritual está acima do tempo e do espaço, operando por meio de uma sequência de causa e efeito. Essa sequência é o mecanismo que conecta as forças superiores (raízes) com suas manifestações no mundo material (ramos), permitindo que o ser humano compreenda as leis espirituais por meio de seus reflexos na realidade física.
A definição apresentada no curso explica que a sabedoria da Kabbalah é um sistema estruturado, científico e verificável. Ela convida cada pessoa a investigar e a experimentar as leis espirituais, estabelecendo uma conexão consciente com o Criador. Esse processo não se baseia em dogmas, mas em observação prática e aplicação pessoal.
Por fim, o curso destaca que a transformação espiritual ocorre por meio da intenção de doação, que permite ao indivíduo se alinhar com a força superior e entrar em equilíbrio com as leis da natureza. Esse caminho conduz a uma realização plena, onde o desejo de receber é corrigido para beneficiar não apenas a si mesmo, mas também os outros.
Assim, a sabedoria da Kabbalah oferece um método preciso para alcançar o propósito da criação: a conexão com o Criador por meio da transformação interna e da revelação da luz espiritual.
The 5784 / 2024 omer counter is live and expanded to twice the former length with more prayers, poetic translations, art, and space to count the omer your way. Counter and colouring companion are available on kofi, and stickers and more available on redbubble.
Here's a peek at the inside of the omer counter:
Image description: 7 screenshots of the omer counter, showing a colour cover, a black and white cover, a multi-month spread, an explanation of how to count with a list of pieces of the ritual, the omer bracha with 7 different names of Gd, a week spread with journaling prompts and diagrams, and a week's worth of dailies.
And some peeks at the colouring companion:
Image description. 3 screenshots of black and white imagesfrom the counter, showing the pomegranate spiral with wheat sheaf cover; an empty eitz chayim diagram with crescent moon and succulent, bonfire, and mountain with a rose, and a multimonth Hebrew and Gregorian double spread with peonies, roses, moons, a bonfire, and flowered mountains on each day of the omer and Shavuot.
If you like the cover image, you can buy three different versions of it on stickers, stationary, clothing, and more. You can also get a full colour version of the sfira tree with roses, just the roses (60 of them!), or a minipack of stickers for your counter.
Like this but can't buy? Even a reblog helps support a queer, disabled, mixed race artist and parent!
