Omer

 

A set of poems from 2018 / 5778

There are a few days missing as I do not write on the Sabbath or on the Holidays.

Counting the Omer, the days between the holiday of Passover and Shavuot, is a relatively new practice for me. The first year I counted, I did not really understand what I was doing. This past year, in an effort to write more and also connect more deeply to this ritual, I took it upon myself to write a poem a day inspired by the the sefirot (emanations) of the day.
