:

'You shall count seven weeks from the day after the sabbath,* when a sheaf (omer) of grain is to be brought as an offering, so that the day after the seventh week will make it fifty days.'

In observance of that tradition, we count the days of the early harvest season of ancient Israel, from Pesach till Shavuot, and so symbolically walk once more the road from Egypt to Mount Sinai, from liberty to law, from freedom to responsibility.

7?9 :i ,j'?� ,:� i1D� 7:i �

We praise You, Eternal God, Sovereign of the universe: You sanctify us by Your com­ mandments, and enjoin us to count the days of the Omer.
