Parashat Emor (You shall tell)
In
this section we are commanded to count the Omer. Every day between Pesach and
Shavuot we add one more day.
In
Biblical times this mitzvah expressed a strong agricultural relationship
between the people of Israel and its land.
How
can the Jews who live outside of Israel relate to this mitzvah, too?
I
strongly believe that counting the Omer expresses our deep desire to be further
from Egypt and closer to Sinai.
Every
day that passes we are less slaves and more a holy people.
