Counting the Omer – Day 33
Counting the Omer – Feeding the Land, not the Landfill
We used compostible table ware at the Lag b’Omer picnic. You might consider purchasing this for use at the simchahs you host at temple. Not all compostable tableware will decompose in the home compost bin. Cary sourced this at Amazon.
