Omer Learning 2016: Day 13

Today is 13 days, which is 1 week and 6 days of the Omer

(All this counting is making me hungry! You too?! Join us, Saturday, June 11th at 9:30pm, at the Rabbi’s house for a study session and ice cream! See the end of this e-mail for more details)

Instructions for counting the omer are found on our Omer Overview Page. You can find the specific blessing for today at chabad.org.

And here’s today’s wisdom, powered by Etz Hayim members:

One day, when I was a teenager, I was walking with my parents. Impatient to get to our destination, I ran on ahead and apparently looked rather annoyed at the fact that they seemed to take forever to reach the spot where I waited for them. My father noted that when I was little, they had to slow down for me, and it was now my turn. And now, two generations later, my children and grandchildren have to slow down for me too.

–By My father, Arthur Goodman
