From Pesach through Shavuot, Jews across the world count the omer, a reminder of the small portion of grain offered to God each day when the Temple stood in Jerusalem.

This offering linked the freedom of the Exodus with the freedom to accept God’s covenant while standing at Mount Sinai.  As Jews, we are taught that we all stood at Sinai and said, Naaseh v’nishma.  We will do and we will listen.

During these 49 Days of counting, we offer you 49 Voices of your fellow congregants.  They are thoughtful and inspiring and we thank them for their courage to say “yes.”
