Sefirat HaOmer
Sefirat HaOmer is a Jewish counting period that occurs between the second night of Passover and the holiday of Shavuot. It lasts for 49 days, culminating in the 50th day, which is Shavuot. This period commemorates the time when the Israelites prepared to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai.
During Sefirat HaOmer, each day is counted, and many people observe various customs, such as reciting special blessings. The counting serves as a spiritual preparation for Shavuot, reflecting themes of growth and self-improvement. It is also a time of reflection and connection to Jewish heritage.
