Counting the Omer is keeping the commandment to count 50 days (seven Sabbaths plus one day) between the offering of the first fruits of the barley harvest (often called First Fruits) until the feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) (Leviticus 23:15-21). This year The Barking Fox is counting the omer with modern pictures of people named in the Bible.

Thank you Al for doing this for us…..We really appreciate you taking the time to look up and send to each of our homes. The Counting of the Omer, the 40 days of repentance, and the yearly reading. This is teaching us a little at a time.
