The counting of the Omer begins with the escape from enslavement to the wandering path of freedom, leading to a mystical encounter with God, Sinai, and Torah. Omer: A Counting, beginning with its informative contextual introduction, provides a spiritual guide for a personal journey through the Omer toward meaningful and purposeful living. Beautiful and evocative readings for each day matched with the daily Omer blessing, offer a transformative path from Passover to Shavuot.

This study guide—written by Rabbis Jill Perlman, Nicole Auerbach, and Benjamin Barer—offers discussion questions to supplement the Omer journey.
