Three Weeks Of Mourning

Followed by seven weeks of consolation

A ratio encrypted deep in the world’s genome

Parallels the עשרת הדברות

Seven negative commandments

And the three positive

In the ten sefiros

The three מוחין hover above

The seven mundane מדות

The three מוחין are loftier than מדות

But negative commandments

Tower above the positive

And נחמה above אבילות

Pondering this discrepancy

Is the mitzva of שבת נחמו
