The beginning of Sifra

There is a special advantage this year i.e. 5751, fall of 1991 through summer of 1992 ( and this year 5778) that the first day of Pesach occurs on Sabbath and the beginning of Sfira is literally " from the day after Sabbath" Vayikra 23,15 is the Sfira Counting began (begins this year) Saturday night. This is in addition to " from the day after Sabbath" to the day after the 'Sabbath' of the first day of Pesach. When the first day of Pesach is Sabbath, the weeks of counting Sfira mirror the week of Creation, from Sunday to Sabbath.

The conclusion of each week of Sfira is Sovereignty (Kingship), the seventh emotional attribute Sovereignty within Kindness, Sovereignty within Beauty, etc. This year the Sfira of Sovereignty is always on Sabbath. Sabbath is connected with the Redemption, " the day that is entirely Sabbath and rest for eternal life" Mishna Tamid 7,4 Therefore, now the Redemption is even more emphasized in Sovereignty.

The kingship of the House of Dovid is in its full strength through Melech HaMoshiach because through him the Sovereignty of G-d is revealed in the entire world, as it is written "and it will be to G-d the Sovereignty" Ovadyah 1,21 "and HaShem will be King over the entire land." Zechariah 14,9

Sovereignty as it is relevant to Redemption refers to Melech Hamoshiach.
