Ready for Sefirat HaOmer?
Every year, Jews around the world begin counting the 49 days of the Omer, starting on the second night of Passover.
This special mitzvah—counting up the days until the holiday of Shavuot—celebrates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai and unites Jews around the world each day.
But remembering to count the Omer nightly can certainly be challenging to work into people’s everyday schedules. And, after missing even a single day, one continues to count, but no longer with a blessing.
Chabad.org’s app “Omer Counter” reminds users to count and guides them through the special blessing before the Omer, the unique daily passages and the ability to check off of the Omer has been said.
To that end, Chabad.org has created the “Omer Counter,” a popular app in both the iOS Appstore and Google Play. The app reminds and encourages users to count the Omer each night, as well as explore the deeper spiritual message behind the mitzvah and share their activity on social media.
