Counting the Omer, an ancient Jewish tradition that marks the days from Passover to the festival of Shavuot, has special meaning for followers of Yeshua, as the period between his resurrection and the outpouring of the spirit described in Acts 2. Rabbis Michael Schiffman and Russ Resnik discuss the biblical background and Jewish customs for counting the Omer, Jewish, and their relevance today, especially as we prepare for the annual UMJC Prayer Campaign, which is based on this tradition.
