Scene: the Technion Institute, midnight. A physics graduate student accidentally opens a portal to another timeline. The portal remains open just long enough for someone on the other side to pass a siddur through. Mostly the siddur looks very familiar, but there are a few things odd about it.

The following is the first of several uploads the editor is planning that reflect this parallel universe, wherein all Judaism is conducted according to the rabbinic norms of our universe, except for two things. Firstly, the festivals of wine-offering and wood-offering as described in the Temple Scroll of Qumran were included as part of scripture. And secondly, the custom of writing the Tetragrammaton in Paleo-Hebrew is preserved.

Anyway, this is a count of the fifty days after Shavuot, in which the new wine is gathered from the tribes of Israel to the Temple. Apparently there were four different kinds of wine delivered, but we don’t know what they are. Let’s just say red and white, mevushal and non-mevushal.

סדר ספירת הנסך	Order of the Counting of the Nesekh
(ביקום מקביל, שבו כל יהדות מתנהלת על פי הנורמות הרבניות ביקום שלנו, חוץ משני דברים — חגי מנחת היין ומנחת העצים כמו שמתוארים במגילת המקדש שבקומראן נכללו כחלק מהמקרא, ונשמר מנהג כתיבת השם הקודש בכתב עברי עתיק)	(in a parallel universe wherein all Judaism is conducted according to the rabbinic norms of our universe, except for two things — the festivals of wine-offering and wood-offering as described in the Temple Scroll of Qumran were included as part of scripture, and the custom of writing the Tetragrammaton in Paleo-Hebrew is preserved)
הִנְנִי מוּכָן וּמְזוּמָן לְקַיֵּם מִצְוַת עֲשֵׂה כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב בִּמְגִלַּת הַמִּקְדָּשׁ — וּסְפַרְתֶּ֣ם לָכֶ֗ם מִיּוֹם֙ הֲבִ֣יאֲכֶ֔ם אֶת־הַמִּנְחָ֥ה הַחֲדָשָׁ֖ה לַיהוה אֶת־לֶ֙חֶם֙ הַבִּכּוּרִ֔ים שִׁבְעָ֧ה שָׁבוּע֛וֹת שֶׁ֥בַע שַׁבָּת֖וֹת תְּמִימֹ֥ת תִּהְיֶֽינָה׃ עַ֣ד מִֽמׇּחֳרַ֤ת הַשַּׁבָּת֙ הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔ת תִּסְפְּר֖וּ חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים י֑וֹם וְהִקְרַבְתֶּ֞ם יַ֤יִן חָדָשׁ֙ לַנֶּ֔סֶךְ אַרְבָּעָ֥ה הַיֵּנִ֖ים מִכׇּל־מַטּ֥וֹת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל סְפִירַת הַנֶּֽסֶךְ׃	Here I am, ready and willing to fulfill the positive commandment as it is written in the Temple Scroll — “And count for yourselves from the day you bring the new offering to יהוה, the bread of first-fruits, seven weeks, seven full Sabbath-weeks it will be. On the end of the seventh Sabbath-week, you will count fifty days, and bring forth new wine as a libation [nesekh], four wines from all the tribes of Israel.” Blessed are You, יהוה our God, Sovereign of Eternity, who sanctified us with commandments and commanded us regarding the counting of the Nesekh.

"Sefirot HaOmer" by Aharon Varady derived from the color correspondences of Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and the design concept of Lauren Deutsch. Each of the seven weeks and days of the Omer is represented by one of the seven lower sefirot: Ḥesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netsaḥ, Hōd, Yesod, and Malkhut, the creative emanations all the worlds were created and continually sustained, as taught in the cosmology of esoteric Jewish tradition. The first day of the Omer at the top left signifies "Ḥesed within Ḥesed." The circle below representing the second day signifies "Gevurah within Hesed," and so forth. The forty-second circle on the bottom row marks the 42nd day of the Omer, Yom Qeshet, Rainbow Day, which is "Malkhut that is in Yesod."

We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
