Counting the Omer

Counting the Omer

The seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot is known as “the omer” period. An omer (“sheaf”) was an ancient measure of grain, and refers to the barley offering brought to the Temple on the second day of Passover.

The Union for Reform Judaism(URJ) has more on Counting the Omer on their website, and we have archived video blessings from Cantor Ida Rae Cahana, made in 2020, below.
