I’ll admit my failing straight off. My intention had been to create a digital flip book with 49 poems and the blessing for each day of Counting the Omer. Unfortunately, with so many other projects and responsibilities, I was unable to get that together in time–this year. Next year it will be ready to launch by Passover.

However, I was able to get past the halfway mark with the project, and plan to post a page from the book once a week throughout the season.

I hope that whatever your level of observance, you will enjoy the previously published poems I’ve selected, and if you, like me, count the Omer ever year, then I hope this enhances your practice. The official count begins tonight, so here is the first post.
