A program tied to the Omer
"Counting Toward Sinai" is a learning framework built on Sefiras HaOmer — the days counted between Pesach and Shavuos, when we prepare to receive the Torah anew. This edition dedicates that runway to tefillah, giving the count a specific area of growth to aim at.
It is a series, not a lone speaker. The organizing idea is the calendar: each day of the Omer becomes an occasion to learn one more piece about prayer, so that by Shavuos a participant arrives having built something rather than merely waited.
Why tefillah, and why now
Tefillah is a natural fit for this stretch of the year. The Omer is a period of refinement, and prayer is where a Jew's inner life meets Hashem daily — so deepening one's tefillah is a fitting way to ready oneself for kabbalas haTorah.
The shiurim take prayer seriously as a subject: its structure, its language, and the intent behind the words. Rather than treating davening as routine, the program invites a participant to understand what they are saying and to mean it more fully, one short lesson at a time.
Learning on a countdown
A count creates momentum. Because the series is keyed to the days of the Omer, it carries a built-in sense of progress — you can see how far you have come and how close Shavuos is, which helps a learner stay with it to the end.
That structure is the program's strength. For anyone who has wanted to work on their davening but never had a frame for it, a dated, day-by-day series turns a vague intention into a finishable path with a clear destination at Sinai.
