Counting the Omer – Day 4
Counting the Omer – Feeding the Land, not the Landfill
Humans take a lot of nutrients out of soils to feed their families, so composting is one way humans can give something back.
Blessing for Day Four
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 אַרְבָּעָה יָמִים לָעֹֽמֶר
Hayom arbaah yamim la-omer.
