A Season of Anticipation is About to Begin

from Weekly Torah Commentaries · host Russ Resnik

The culmination of the story we commemorate each Passover isn’t our departure from Egypt, but the encounter with the Eternal One fifty days later. To emphasize this, the Torah commands us to begin counting the Omer, or sheaf of firstfruits, during Passover.
