Counting of the Omer (or Sefirat Ha’omer, Hebrew: ספירת העומר) is a verbal counting of each of the forty-nine days between the Jewish holidays of Passover and Shavuot. [1] [2]
We begin counting on the evening of the second night of Pesach: , corresponding to the 16th of Nisan, 5988. The counting concludes on the night before Shavuot: , corresponding to the 5th of Sivan, 5988.
