This past Sunday and Monday we celebrated the holiday of Shavuot, which marked the completion of the counting of the omer. It has been a true joy using this year’s count to study Shemitah; learning how we can use this ancient mitzvah as fresh inspiration for improving our own community. A special thanks to the following individuals who contributed content to this year’s Omer Learning Project:
Ken Ackerman
Paula Levin-Alcorn
Elisa Rosman
Michael LeVine
Michelle LeVine
Leslee Friedman
Laura Naide
Andy Lovinger
Sharon Beth Bronheim
Rachel Waldstein
Laura Jacobs
Jeanne Briskin

I would encourage you to check out the following document which includes all submissions we shared during the count. Finally, keep an eye out for calls to contribute for next year’s count. I’m not sure what the theme will be, but I know it’s going to be better off because it will include voices from our community!
