tag: ספירת העומר sefirat haomer Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? Each day between the beginning of Passover and Shavuot gets counted, 49 days in all, 7 weeks of seven days. That makes the omer period a miniature version of the Shmitah and Yovel (Jubilee) cycle of 7 cycles of seven years. Just as that cycle is one of resetting society’s clock to align ourselves with freedom and with the needs of the land, this cycle too is a chance to align ourselves with the rhythms of spring and the spiritual freedom represented by the Torah.

This grid for counting the omer includes the secular date for 2026 as well as Hebrew dates and the sefirot associated with each day of the omer. More information can be found on my website.
