Omer count

Omer counting is a Jewish tradition that occurs during the period between Passover and Shavuot, lasting 49 days. It commemorates the Omer, an ancient offering, symbolizing spiritual growth and preparation. Each day, individuals count and reflect, emphasizing personal development and gratitude. This practice helps connect people to their history and encourages mindfulness during this period of anticipation leading up to the receiving of the Torah at Shavuot. In essence, it’s a structured way to mark time, foster introspection, and deepen spiritual awareness.
