23 Nisan 5772
Today is 8 Days, Tonight is 9 Days to the Omer
BH We will be learning some halakhot regarding the Omer over the next few days. Halakhot will be taken from Rav Ovadia Yosef's "Kitsur Yalkut Yosef l'talmidim" Siman 493
We count the days of the Omer between Pesah and Shavuot in anticipation of Matan Torah which happened 49 days after we left Misrayim. However, we observe practices of mourning from the day after Pesah until after the 33rd day of the Omer (Sephardim call this day Lag La'Omer) in deference to the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva who perished during this time.
-Smile Eshet Hayil! :D
