Guide to Counting the Omer
Welcome to the Peeling a Pomegranate Guide to Counting the Omer. I created this free workbook to help people explore the practice. We begin counting the Omer on the second night of Passover. If you do a second seder, it starts that night. Remember that Jewish days begin at sundown.
I hope if you engage in the practice this year, you’ll share your experiences with me and the community by posting comments!
If you want to follow the traditional approach to Counting the Omer, RitualWell.org has a great outline.

Mini Manifesto:
Spirituality: My primary lens is progressive Jewish spirituality, but I also like to find the universal elements that connection us all.
Culture: I am fascinated by both culture on most levels. I mostly focus on American culture and what makes us who we are as a country, but I'm also intrigued by sub-cultures in the USA and the growing global cultural trends.
Technology: Technology is one of the strongest drivers of cultural and even spiritual changes in the last 100 years, and possibly the next 100.

Thanks for helping people like myself need extra assistance in following religion wherever and whenever possible.
