What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
The Torah commands us to count the days from Pesach to Shavuot, and that's called Sefirat HaOmer. The name is puzzling. The Omer was a one-time barley offering brought in the temple on the second day of Pesach. Why define the entire period of counting by a one-time korban? Wouldn't it be more precise to call it the count to Shavuot or something like that? Sefirah commonly means counting, but it also means clarification or illumination. The Torah itself describes Even Sapir, a sapphire-like clarity beneath the divine presence. Sapir and Sefirah have the same root. But what are we clarifying in the Omer? The gematria, the numerical equivalent of Omer, is 310. Ayin is 70, Mem is 40, Resh is 200. When you add them together, 70 and 40 and 200, you get 310. 310 is also the gematria of Yesh. Yud 10, [music] Shin 300. Yesh means there is. Yesh means existence itself. [music] The Mishna in Uksin explains that in the
