Counting the Omer I really like your explanations. I have tried many apps and really need a better guide as you are doing here. Do you have a full guide for each day? Reply

Are we born as a giver, ‘maybe, maybe not.’ Can we be taught to give with love and kindness, ‘yes, most certainly.’ Do we want to be taught to give, ‘maybe, maybe not.’ Will we feel much more loving in our hearts when we give, ‘yes, we definitely will.’ Will this giving enrich our lives, ‘yes, it will.’ But will this giving of ourselves and other attributes pave a secure path to a better place when we leave this world, ‘it may or may not.’ However, giving today, tomorrow or only during the season of Passover will at least follow us as a shadow for the remainder of our days on this earth and if we try it out, at least it’s a start.

Wonderful teaching on counting of the omer I thank you for the wonderful video teachings on counting of the omer. So many things I did not know that I find truly essential for my own personal growth. And I must give this compliment about Rebbitzen Chana, I enjoy her teaching and I admire her hair! She has such beautiful hair! Reply
