Counting the Omer – Day 2
Counting the Omer – Feeding the Land, not the Landfill
We will count the Omer for 7 weeks. As we count, we will learn how we can connect to our Jewish traditions and care for the Earth by the simple act of composting. Each week will have a theme and this week’s theme is Composting as an Expression of Our Jewish Values.
Watch this brief video to learn about Noah composting on the Ark and a few ways we can compost today.
Then scroll down to count today’s Omer.
Blessing for Day 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.
