Omer Counting
Beginning with the second night of Pesach we count the Omer until we arrived in our calendar at Shavuot. To help you with the counting, we have prepared for you a leaflet with a calendar, the blessings and the numbers (available in the Shul and here: https://www.wimshul.org/counting-the-omer/ ). Traditionally the Omer is counted in the evening, after sunset.
All of us in the office of the Shul wishing you a peaceful and happy Pesach 2023
