Counting the Omer – Day 43

Counting the Omer – Feeding the Land, not the Landfill

The Bike Farm is a bicycle-powered micro farm in the City of Kalamazoo, offering compost pick-up and drop-off. They keep food waste out of the landfill and instead get it composting, helping to nourish & enrich our soil.

Blessing for Day Forty Three

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל סְפִירַת הָעֹֽמֶר.

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.
