Omer Counting
Beginning with the second night of Pesach we count the Omer until we arrived in our calendar at Shavuot. To help you with the counting, we have prepared for you a leaflet with a calendar, the blessings and the numbers (see below, and available in the Shul). Traditionally the Omer is counted in the evening, after sunset.
Bet David Kehillah’s Omer Project
Counting of the Omer begins on Wednesday, 12 April for 50 days in support of Kehillah’s Feeding Schemes. Place your name and those of your loved ones on the list to donate one day’s food parcel for only R100 to Kehillah. Sign up on the sheet on the Shul door, or call the shul office. EFT to Bet David Sisterhood, Nedbank Sandton Account 1970476214, branch 197005.
Thank you for your great support!
