Chol Hamoed
Time to Count!
Dear Friend,
We trust that you had liberating, educational, enjoyable and inspiring Seders.
The intermediate days of Passover are traditionally a time for family outings (with lots of matzah and other kosher-for-Passover snacks in the wings), fun Passover meals (did you know that you are supposed to drink a cup of wine or grape juice every day of Passover?) and added Torah study.
And of course, this is also the time we begin to count the Omer, noting the accumulation of days until we finally reach Shavuot 50 days later. To help you count the Omer every day, we’ve got the Omer Counter app. Download it, share it with your friends, and never miss a day again.
With wishes for a beautiful rest of your holiday,
