ספירת העומר – Omer-Zählung, d.h. die 50 Tage zwischen Pessach und Schawu’ot. Den selben Abstand haben im Christentum auch “Ostern” und “Pfingsten”(von Πεντηκοστήpentekoste = griechisch “fünfzigst”, verwurschtelt zu penkst und dann eben pfingst).
To all our members and friends a happy and joyful holiday of Shavuot, which commemorates the anniversary of the very day HaShem gave the holy Torah to Moshe and the people of Israel. It also is the Fesitval of Reaping and the day of the first fruits.
