Can You Count the Omer Early?

from Responsa Radio · host Hadar Institute

Many communities begin Shabbat services early during the summer months — sometimes before sunset. This poses a probem during the Omer when the service includes counting the new day of the Omer before its proper time. What should one do in this situation? Should they not say the blessing or count with their community and count again at home like all the other days? If they count later at home, should they not say the blessing? Source sheet: https://voices.sefaria.org/sheets/717193Have a question you'd like answered on Responsa Radio?
