About this listen

 📖 Parshat Emor This Week: We're currently in a rare moment when our Torah reading perfectly mirrors our calendar. As we count the Omer, the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot, we read about this very practice in Parshat Emor. Curiously, we name this period after the 'Omer' a barley offering brought at the beginning of this journey, rather than after receiving Torah at its conclusion. Why? Barley was animal fodder in biblical times, while at Shavuot, we bring wheat bread, human food. This progression symbolizes our spiritual evolution. The counting isn't merely marking time until a destination; it's about the transformation along the way. Life isn't about instant perfection but continuous progress, not about where we're heading, but how far we've come. As we count each day, let's make each day count, nurturing our potential step by step. Shabbat Shalom. 🌾→🍞
