Preparation for Shavuot & The Summer

May 7, 14 & 21 from 7-8:30 PM

• How did this time, known as the Omer, come to be so full of mini-holidays, & how does counting the days of the Omer prepare us for Shavuot & for the summer vacation that lies beyond?
• Using Jewish calendars, Omer counters, and some ancient & modern commentaries, we will attempt to answer these questions
