Omer Learning 2016: Day 8

Today is 8 days, which is 1 week and 1 day 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:

These three expressions were hammered into my head and to those of my children:
Do not waste.
Practice makes perfect.
In this house we share (a crucial dictum in a 3-child family.)

These were placed on small pieces of paper and hung on our walls with masking tape until one day I decided to make a needlepoint sampler with Grandma’s sayings. This “work of art” can be found near Seattle in my daughter’s home, where its messages are still, and always, very relevant.

–By My late mother, Martha Goodman
