Counting of the Omer board (Sefirat ha-Omer)

Enrich the Great Book

לוח ספירת העומר

Description

From the second night of Passover to Shavuot, forty-nine days are counted, the Omer. Boards with shutters or rollers, sometimes finely decorated, displayed the day's count in the synagogue or home — a concrete support for a rite of patience and expectation.
