The Count

See: The blessings and procedure for counting the Omer.

Today’s Learning

Pirkei Avot 6:6 tells us: Greater is learning Torah than the priesthood and than royalty, for royalty is acquired by thirty stages, and the priesthood by twenty-four, but the Torah by forty-eight things.

The 41st way is: Who composes himself at his study

From our community:

This video describes how you can tie your own Tzitzit, should you need to repair your tallit or you wish to DIY your own from scratch:

If you have the opportunity to tie your own Tzitzit, I can’t recommend it highly enough. What may appear overwhelming at first, as the video shows, isn’t too tricky. And best of all, you’ll engage in the practice of taking something mundane (a few simple linen strings) and create something holy from them. This is a humbling and beautiful act.
–Ben S.
