Omer Count
The Omer Count is a Jewish tradition that occurs during the period between the second night of Passover and the holiday of Shavuot. It involves counting each of the 49 days leading up to Shavuot, which commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. This counting is based on a biblical commandment found in Leviticus 23:15-16.
Each day of the Omer is marked with a special blessing and is often associated with themes of spiritual growth and preparation. The counting culminates in the celebration of Shavuot, which occurs on the 50th day, symbolizing the completion of this important spiritual journey.
