What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Alon Anava’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] don't hug them at everybody and we want to talk a little bit about the period that we're going now through it's called the Puritan the cold the period is called the Omega and yesterday we started our first count of the sphere at Omega now for 49 days we're going to be counting every night the day of the Omer mentioning what day it is and then reading and a few more paragraphs depending on which they do you have we read a different paragraph and then we mentioned which Spira is corresponding to that day and since we do that every day and we we are obligated in doing that this is a mitzvah from the toe it's called ferrata or mail then we need to understand what we're doing and what's the point you just say the numbers and you don't know what you're doing so you're missing the points so first and most important is just the challah honey we want to talk a little bit more about the mystical part of it but the halacha is that you have to count the OMA the second that you have the opportunity when the Stars goes out better not to delay it and count at 11 o'clock at night rather brother to come to a minyan and pray with the manana the advantage with payment priming a minyan is that the minion will remind you if you're not going to be in the minion there's a very good chance that you're not going to remember to count
