    Journey: Counting the Omer - P...

  3. Die sieben Wochen zwischen Pessach & Schawuot gelten als Zeit der Vorbereitung – körperlich, spirituell, moralisch.

    In der sogenannten Omer-Zeit werden traditionell 49 Tage abgezählt. Sie verbindet die Befreiung aus Ägypten mit dem Erhalt der Tora – ein Symbol für Wachstum und Verantwortung.

  5. Need to change a habit or get into a new groove? Try this Omer program - only $10 for the PDF download, or they have hard copies, too.

    "There is a seven-week count (some may be familiar with it being referred to as the Counting of the Omer) which starts on the second day of Passover. Each day is counted, for a total of 49 days. The intention is to be more fully present and to make every day count.

    Kabbalah added another dimension to the count. 6 Each of the seven weeks is aligned with particular energy from the Tree of Life which provides for spiritual reflection.

    While this count can be done in a rote manner (day one, day two) commemorating what others did in the past, the mystical teachings transformed it from an ancient narrative into a present personal story."

  6. My personal favorite counting of the Omer exercises!

    "An innovative, spiritual workbook that integrates the Tarot and the Kabbalistic tradition of Counting the Omer:

    • Explores the origins and meaning of the 49-day Kabbalistic meditative practice of Counting the Omer and how it can lead to spiritual revelation, personal insight, and connection with the Divine

    • Reveals the correspondence of the Tarot’s minor arcana with the Sephirot of the Tree of Life and explains how both relate to the Omer meditation

    • Provides a daily practice workbook that explores the related Sephirot and Tarot cards for each day, examines their Kabbalistic and spiritual meanings, and provides questions for daily reflection and meditation guidance"

  8. Mourning and Meaning Making -
    Someday our current sorrows will be memories, woven into the tapestry of our shared destiny, By Rabbi Shira Koch Epstein

    This article initially appeared in My Jewish Learning’s Shabbat newsletter Recharge on May 18, 2024.

    "...This year, that process is more fraught than most. It has been only six months since the massacres of October 7th, and we are still engulfed in a brutal war. How can we engage in acts of ritual remembering when we are living in between “they tried to kill us” and “we prevailed?”

    Our processes of mourning and memory can provide some guideposts. ...We gather, share stories and support those in the depths of grief, collectively waiting for the time when we might begin to make meaning. This sharing is the beginning of a narrative process during which memories become stories, eventually burnished into legacy when they motivate our actions..."

    Celebrate Lag Ba'Omer with us in a unique and spiritually enriching way. This special day marks the 33rd step in the Omer's 49-day journey, resonating with the theme of Hod within Hod - the essence of humility and splendor.

The eggs will serve as vessels for your personal wishes , symbolizing potential and new beginnings. The candles will represent the light of wisdom and revelation, honouring the teachings of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, whose insights have helped to illuminate our paths through Judaism.

  10. CW: Counting the Omer - Day 2

    Counted the Omer today.

    Today is having disciplined Chesed. Loving and caring on the terms of the beloved rather than on our own, on managing amount and degree, on the needs rather than the wants. That our chesed be governed rather than an out-of-control fire that consumes all in its path.

  19. The #Second #Christian #Omer is a period of penance and reflection leading up to Christian holidays commemorating the execution and the mystical rising from the dead of the Christian prophet Yeshu. The length and reflective nature of “Lent” naturally invite comparisons with the month of Elul and other secular periods of introspection. This similarity is the origin of the alternate name “Christian Elul.”

  20. #Omer /'ʕomer (Hebrew), 'omɛɚ (Jewish English)/ = 1. (Biblical Hebrew) sheaf (of wheat, grain); 2. with “the” (i.e. Ha’Omer), the 49-day period from the 2nd day of Pesach (=Passover) through Shavuot (Feast of Weeks, =Pentecost); on the 1st & last days of the Omer, Jews traditionally make an offering of a sheaf of barley. Full name is S(e)firat Ha’Omer (=“counting [of] the sheaf [of grain]”)
