Omer

Omer, also known as the "Omer," is a biblical term referring to a specific measurement of grain offering presented during the Second Temple period, typically symbolizing the period between Passover and Shavuot. In a broader context, it represents a counting period of 49 days, during which Jewish people prepare spiritually for the festival of Shavuot. This counting serves as a time of reflection, self-improvement, and anticipation, connecting the two major holidays and emphasizing personal growth and gratitude within the Jewish tradition.
