SUMMARY:Torah for Today in the Library with Rabbi Doug Weber
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Not Just for Mystics\; A Rationalist Approach to Countin
 g The Omer\nA kabala-based understanding of sphirat haomer has increasing
  appeal to many contemporary Jews\, especially Millennials and younger fol
 k.  Dan's very excellent 2nd Day lesson--which I conveniently watched on 
 live stream in the comfort of the Weber Estate--as an example.  Boomers a
 nd older generations of American Jews seem to understand counting the Omer
  as yet another chore\, (albeit a mitzvah)\, to cross off the list as we w
 ere brought up to think of it as a vestigial remnant and remembrance of an
  ancient and far away agricultural practice that later became spiritualize
 d.\n\nAs a Certified Non-Mystic/Rationalist\, I understand Sephirat HaOmer
  historically as a remembrance of the inchoate period between the Exodus a
 nd Sinai and plan to teach about its parallels in Christianity (period bet
 ween Easter and Pentecost) and Islam (Muhammad's efforts to knit together 
 his early followers).
