COUNTING DAYS is a text-based Gemara mini-series focused on the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha”Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that leads us up to Shavuot — the holiday commemorating the Giving of the Torah.
The series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling grain offering called The Omer, the eponymous source for our national count-up commandment.

Tractate Menachot, Page 66a — SPRING HARVEST further delves into biblical verses demonstrating the veracity of our Oral Tradition regarding the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha’Oomer.
This new Episode continue the relentless investigation to determine the exact day the count is set to begin with a Tale of Two Breads, and the Raising of the Sickle.
Here, our study of varying biblical verses, with an eye to revealing the encoded messages on the Omer Count begining will finally be reaching its conclusion.
As we now focus on the proverbial Raised Sickle, Standing Grain, and Offering Obligation another Matzah mystery is solved as well. This confluence of teachings must necessarily lead us into a Final Count resolution. The only question is how?
This concludes our digest of defenses from the theological attacks of ancient Heretical Jewish Sects.
This teaching comprises the ninth segment of our series on Sefirat Ha’Omer.
