Tonight's the second night of Pesach, the night to begin the Counting of the Omer,which lasts for 49 days until Shavuot.
As someone who feels uncomfortable even using the word “God,” I find I look forward to this mystical, kabbalistic practice of mindfulness. In the early years, when it was all I could do to take five minutes each night to count the day, but even then, I felt it was worth doing.
