When the Temple stood, on the day after the first day of Pesah an offering was

destroyed, the sages ordained that we should continue to count the days as
a memory of this practice. The forty-nine days, connecting the exodus from

For the sake of the unification of the Holy One, blessed be He,
and His Divine Presence, in reverence and love,
to unify the name Yod-Heh with Vav-Heh
in perfect unity in the name of all Israel.
2371 Iam prepared and ready to fulfill the positive commandment of Count-
ing the Omer, as is written in the Torah, “You shall count seven complete Lev. 23
weeks from the day following the [Pesah] rest day, when you brought the
Omer as a wave-offering. To the day after the seventh week you shall count
fifty days. Then you shall present a meal-offering of new grain to the LORD.’

work of our hands, O establish the work of our hands.
‘1114 Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe,
who has made us holy through His commandments,
and has commanded us about counting the Omer.

Egypt with the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, are a time of preparation
and growth — of leaving a world of slavery and getting ready to enter a world
of personal, social and spiritual responsibility. The Jewish mystics attached
special significance to this period of the year as one in which the various
facets of the soul were cleansed, one by one.
