She unpacks “Omer” (manna measure, barley offering, forgotten sheaf for the needy) as receiving from God, returning to God, and giving to others, and defines “Sefirah” as counting, story, and shining, framing the Sefirot as divine vessels and soul powers. Using building a business, she maps Keter through Malchut and applies the framework to relationships, procrastination, balancing effort with surrender, and the 49-day count leading to an uncountable 50th, emphasizing that simply counting fulfills the mitzvah and that God meets us in our humanity.Join us for a beautiful Pre-Shavuos evening on Wednesday, May 13 at the Shul Bal Harbor.

Yemei Sefira - Saying hi to everyone is not always a good thing

Yemei Sefira

The month of Iyar is uniquely defined by the mitzvah of counting the Omer, which creates a state of total alignment where every day becomes equally holy. Spiritual growth moves through three phases—initial rescue from above (Nissan), active refinement of the animal soul's passions (Iyar), and ultimate integration with the Divine (Sivan). The halachic nature of counting Sefira reveals that even if our current efforts feel limited, they possess the unique power to build the reality of the future redemption. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Emor in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

When to Trust Your Therapist: Three Vital Steps for Every Parent, Teacher, & MentorThis class, exploring the three phases of emotional healing according to the Baal Shem Tov, was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Tuesday, 4 Iyar, 5786, April 21, 2026, Parshas Achrei - Kedoshim, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. How do you know when to trust the person giving you advice? How do you know to trust your own advice? Three steps we each need to engage in in our work of healing: Surrender, unblending, and sweetening. This is why Hashem tells the first Jew: Leave your earthiness and ego (surrender), your birth template (unblending), and your anger (sweetening). These are also the three stages in our annual calendar of Pesach (surredner), counting of the Omer (unblending), and Shavuos (sweetening).

התוכן ידוע המנהג שפירסם נשיא דורנו והולך ומתפרסם "ללמוד ב[כל יום ממ"ט] ימי הספירה [א' ממ"ט דפים של] מסכת סוטה .. דף ליום דף ליום". ע"י שהוא מקיים זאת בעצמו, ובפרט כאשר גם מצרף אחרים, ואפי' אם רק מחליט כן – הנה "הכריע עצמו את כל העולם כולו לכף זכות וגרם לו ולהם תשועה גדולה". ענין ספיה"ע הוא ע"ד העבודה דבירור ענין הסוטה ונפה"ב. שעבודה זו שבספיה"ע היתה גם בפעם הראשונה בעת יצי"מ, שהתחילו מיד לאחרי יצי"מ במצב של "כי ברח העם", ועבדו עבודתם בזה עד שביום המ"ט אמרו והקדימו נעשה ונשמע. ע"י העבודה דספיה"ע נפעל ענין ה"תמימות" אצל כאו"א מישראל, וזה פועל המשכת "יום החמישים", דשני ענינים בזה: א) זה שקשור עם עבודתם של ישראל דספיה"ע. ב) זה שנמשך מלמעלמ"ט ביום מ"ת. ועד"ז בכל יום ויום של ימי הספירה ישנם ב' ענינים: א) כל יום מברכים בפ"ע על ספה"ע. ב) חלק מכללות מימי הספירה וגם – מ(ב' הענינים שב)יום החמישים. ומכ"ז מובן גם המעלה של זמן זה, לאחרי סיום העבודה דספירת כל המ"ט יום וכו'.משיחת אור לערב חג השבועות ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=13-04-2026 Synopsis As known, the Nasi of our generation publicized the custom of studying one daf of Masechta Sotah every day during Sefiras HaOmer. When one does so himself, and especially when includes others in doing so, and even when one merely resolves to do so, he “tips the balance for himself and the entire world to the side of merit and causes great salvation for himself and for them.” Sefiras HaOmer is compared to the service of purifying the Sotah and the animal soul; Sefiras HaOmer took place the first time when the Jewish people left Egypt, when their state was such that “the people fled,” and they worked on this service until the forty-ninth day, when they said “We will do” before “We will hear.” The service of Sefiras HaOmer brings “completeness” to every Jew, and draws down the level of the fiftieth day, in which there are two aspects: (a) The aspect linked to the Jewish people's service of Sefiras HaOmer; and (b) the aspect that comes down from above during Mattan Torah. Similarly, these two aspects apply to every day of Sefira: (a) One makes an independent bracha on each day's counting, and (b) each day is part of the totality of the entire count and of (the two aspects within) the fiftieth day. From all this we can understand the special quality of the current day, after we have completed the service of counting all forty-nine days etc.Excerpt from sichah of Wednesday night, Erev Shavuos 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=13-04-2026 לע”נ מרת מרים בת ר' אהרן דוב ע"ה סוויד ליום היארצייט שלה כ"ו ניסן. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בתה מרת רוזה חנה ובעלה ר' אברהם הכהן שיחיו*לזכות מנוחה בת דבורה לאה שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ו ניסן - לשנת ברכה והצלחה‏, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

Tanya 8 Tishrei Cap 20 Parte 5 -O poder criativo divino presente na sefira de Malchut

1)    Just before Kiddush on Sunday evening I remembered that I had forgotten to make Havdolo on Motzei Shabbos. How do I now go about doing Kiddush and Havdolo?[1]2)    I have a metal baking-tin for making cupcakes. I only use it with paper liners. Does the tin need to be immersed in a Mikveh? [2]3)    May I use a sieve or a colander for immersing numerous small utensils in a Mikveh?[3]4)    A tenant of ours installed a new kitchen. He is now moving on but he's requesting that we reimburse for the new kitchen that he installed. Is he entitled to such payment?[4]5)    To attract more children to come and hear Aseres haDibros, we would like to raffle off a free professional portrait of the child at a local studio. Is that permitted?[5]6)    I crossed the dateline from Melbourne to New York during the Sefira and will observe Shovuos on Sunday, 5th of Sivan. In davening I will omit Zman Matan Toiroseinu – because I'm a day out. What about Monday (for me: the 2nd day of Yomtov)?[6]7)    A group of Aussies in NY will have a Minyan for Yomtov onSunday. Should they read כל הבכור on Sunday and listen to Aseres haDibros on Monday, 6th of Sivan? 8)    Does the Bal Korei drop his tone for ויהי העם כמתאוננים (innext week's Sedra)?[7]9)    Does an ice-machine need to be toivelled?[8]10)  Men going to Mikveh on Yomtov afternoon in preparation for the following day of Yomtov or Shabbos; is this done?[9][1] ראה שוע"ר סי' רצטסי"א וי"ב שיש בעי' של ב' קדושות על כוס א'.[2] בס' פסקים ותשובותיו"ד סי' קכ:כ מחייב בטבילה בשם כמה פוסקים.[3] בס' פסקים ותשובות שם אותיו"ד מורה להשקיע כל הסל, שתהא השקה למעלה.[4] דין היורד לשדה חבירו מובאבשו"ע חו"מ סי' שעה, ושם מבחין בין שדה העשוי' ליטע לשדה שאינה עשוי'ליטע. ויש שבעה"ב לא נהנה כלל ואומר לו "עקור אילנך". וראה ס' פסקיהמשפט שם אות י.[5] ברמ"אאו"ח סו"ס שכב אוסר להטיל גורל בשבת. במשנ"ב שם סקכ"ד מתירגורל על קדיש ועליות וכיו"ב. אלא שיש מתירים רק ע"י ספר. אבל בקצות השלחןסי' קמו סל"ב מתיר גם בגורל של פתקאות. ברם התירו הוא רק לבו ביום.וילע"ע.[6] בשוע"ר סי' תצדס"א מבואר שהחג אינו דוקא ביום מתן תורה. בלקו"ש ח"ג ע' 997 מבוארשעליו לדלג "זמן מתן תורתנו". מסתבר שגם ביום ו' סיון לא יאמר "זמןמתן תורתנו", כי הוא חוגג יום זה מספק אולי היו באדר ל' יום. וא"כ הואספק ה' סיון. ומזה נלמד לגבי קריאת התורה, אם יקראו י' הדברות ביום א' או ב' שלהם.[7] מנהג זה מובא בקצורשו"ע סי' עח ס"ד. ובשערי רחמים על שערי אפרים פ"ג ה"ג הביאשלא נהגו כן בפולין.[8] בס' פסקים ותשובות (שם אותז) דן בכלי מתכת המצופה בפלסטיק, דחייב בטבילה עכ"פ מספק. אבל בהערה שם מעירשיש שהציפוי אינו אלא ככלי בפני עצמו, ע"ש. ובנדו"ד שאין הפלסטיק ציפוי,כי אם כלי פלסטיק ומאחוריו יש מערכת קירור.[9] ס' יום טוב כהלכתופי"ט סמ"ה.

In this episode, I sat down with Jack Cohen, Head of Jewish Education at Hebrew Academy high school in Miami Beach, to talk about what it really takes to lead and educate in today's world. Jack didn't come from the typical background—he grew up outside the traditional Jewish system and found his way into it later, which gives him a different lens. Where most people see a tug-of-war between individuality and tradition, Jack doesn't. He sees them as deeply connected, even dependent on each other—and once he explains it, I doubt you'll be able to see it any other way. His whole life and message are about harmony—Tiferet in its truest sense. Not by accident, but through both the circumstances life handed him and the intentional choices he's leaned into. He roots his ideas in Torah, in higher education, and in real-world experience. It's not just talk—it's integrated, lived. And what an appropriate time to release this conversation—during the Sefira cycle of Tiferet, when balance, truth, and beauty are at the center. We talked identity, mental health, humility, and what it means to lead without ego. Grounded, honest, and refreshingly unpolished.See you on the other side,Eli

Why Lashon Hara is one of the only "aveiros" which cause a negative physical response.

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** Is it permissible to make special purchases, such as buying new clothing or other significant items, during the period of the Omer, when we observe certain mourning practices? Rav Haim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1869), in his work Mo'ed Le'kol Hai (6:12; listen to audio recording for precise citation), writes that it is proper to refrain from purchasing new garments or other significant items during the Omer period, as part of the observance of mourning. This was view of a number of other authorities, as well. It appears, however, that the Shulhan Aruch did not subscribe to this ruling. In his discussion of the mourning practices observed during the Omer, the Shulhan Aruch mentions only that one should refrain from haircutting, and that weddings should not be held during this period. He makes no mention at all of making purchases, as he does in the context of the customs of the three weeks between Shiba Asar Be'Tamuz and Tisha B'Ab. It would thus appear that the Shulhan Aruch permits purchasing new clothes and other articles during the Omer period, and this is indeed the ruling of Hacham Ben Sion Abba Shaul (Israel, 1923-1998). By the same token, it is permissible to recite the Beracha of "She'heheyanu" over a new garment and the like during the period of Sefirat Ha'omer, as the mourning observances of Sefira do not extend to new purchases. Summary: It is permissible to purchase new garments and other items, and to recite "She'heheyanu" over new garments, during the Omer period.

SEFIRA 7 HONORING THE FALLEN

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** It is customary each night during the Omer period for the Chazan to recite the Beracha and count the Omer aloud, before the congregation recites the Beracha and counts. This practice developed due to the concern that people may mistakenly count the wrong number, in which case they would not fulfill the Mitzva and would recite a Beracha Le'vatala ("wasted" Beracha). As it was assumed that Chazanim would know the correct number for the counting, the custom developed that the Chazan would first count aloud before the congregation. This practice is mentioned already by the Rashba (Rabbi Shlomo Ben Aderet, Spain, 1235-1310), in one of his responsa (126), and is discussed as well by Rabbi Chayim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1868) in his work Mo'ed Le'kol Chai (5:19). Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (the "Ba'al Ha'tanya," Russia, 1745-1813), in his code of Halacha (Shulchan Aruch Ha'Rav, 489:12; listen to audio for precise citation), notes an interesting Halachic dilemma that results from this custom. There is a debate among the authorities as to whether a person fulfills a Mitzva by performing the given action without intending to satisfy his Mitzva obligation ("Mitzvot Tzerichot Kavana" or "Mitzvot Einan Tzerichot Kavana"). According to one view, a person fulfills his obligation regardless of whether or not he has the Mitzva in mind while performing the given act. If so, Rabbi Shneur Zalman notes, once the Chazan publicly counts the Omer, everybody who hears his counting has fulfilled their obligation of Sefirat Ha'omer. Even though they did not intend to fulfill their obligation by listening to the Chazan's counting, and the Chazan did not have in mind for his counting to fulfill their obligation, they nevertheless fulfill the Mitzva by hearing his counting. Rabbi Sheur Zalman adds that with regard to Mitzvot De'Rabbanan (obligations ordained by the Rabbis, as opposed to Torah law), all authorities agree that intention is not indispensable for the fulfillment of the Mitzva. Therefore, since we generally follow the view that Sefirat Ha'omer nowadays is required on the level of Rabbinic obligation, according to all opinions one fulfills his obligation to count by hearing the Chazan's counting. Seemingly, then, it should be forbidden to count with a Beracha after one hears the Chazan count the Omer. Since one fulfills his obligation by listening to the Chazan, even if he did not intend to fulfill his obligation in this manner, he may no longer count with a Beracha. Chacham Ovadia Yosef addresses this issue in his work Chazon Ovadia (Laws of Yom Tov, p. 228). He writes that in order to avoid this dilemma, one should verbally declare each year towards the beginning of the Sefira period that throughout the period he does not intend to fulfill his obligation by listening to somebody else's counting. By making such a declaration, one establishes that he intends on fulfilling his obligation only by personally counting the Omer, and he may thus count with a Beracha even after listening to the Chazan's counting. Summary: It is customary for the Chazan to count the Omer aloud with the Beracha before the congregation counts. One should verbally declare at the beginning of the Sefira period that throughout the Omer he intends to fulfill his obligation to count only through his personal counting, and not by listening to the Chazan or other person's counting.
