Counting the Omer – Day 22
Counting the Omer – Feeding the Land, not the Landfill
The kitchen scraps in your compost pile are digested by millions of tiny bacteria and fungi that already are already present in your backyard.
Blessing for Day Twenty Two
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל סְפִירַת הָעֹֽמֶר.
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav vitzivanu al s’firat ha-omer.
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who makes us holy with mitzvot, and commands us concerning the counting of the Omer.
הַיּוֹם שְׁנַֽיִם וְעֶשְׂרִים יוֹם שֶׁהֵם שְׁלֹשָׁה שָׁבוּעוֹת וְיוֹם אֶחָד לָעֹֽמֶר.
Hayom sh’nayim v’esrim yom shehem sh’loshah shavuot v’yom echad la-omer.
Today is twenty-two days, which is three weeks and one day to the Omer.
