Week 1 of Counting the Omer: CHESED
The counting begins after sundown this evening! I’ve decided to host a verrrrrry low key, unstructured hang at 8:30 pm on Tuesday evenings (Eastern Standard Time) for anyone who wants to count and chat about the weekly sephirah with others.
If you don’t have a resource you’re using and don’t have a copy of Omer Reflections, I’ve got you. I’ll be adding a new handout to this shared folder every week with the weekly sephirah coloring page, and this week (Chesed) is already available, along with some of the intro pages from my journal for quick reference:

Oh! I almost forgot to mention: MUSIC LEAGUE! Do you want to join other Omer counting Jews in creating a weekly playlist (based on the sephirah of the week) that will generate in time for shabbat/the weekend and allow for voting on your favorite picks each week? I’m super excited to invite folks to the Omer Counters league and can’t wait to hear what folks pick each week: https://app.musicleague.com/l/69ca7d06f3ab4a98824bd434aedc11cd/
If you make anything to share with the world during this process, tag me or use #omerreflections so that I can enjoy and celebrate your creative process!
I hope that this week offers you insight into your most expansive love and that love’s interplay with all of the aspects of our being.
Chag sameach,
