Wheat, on the other hand, was an essential component of one’s daily diet, the core ingredient of bread and cake. He comments that in the ancient world, barley was a staple of animal feed. The Aruch HaShulchan comments on the two sacrifices that bracket this period: the Korban HaOmer which comes from barley and the sacrifice on Shavuot which comes from wheat.

They needed time to lift themselves up, to shed away the impurities and the indignities of Egypt. They needed time to prepare themselves for such a close encounter with God. They counted their count until they were prepared to receive the Torah on Har Sinai.īnei Yisrael needed time. The first time that the Jewish people counted Sefirat HaOmer was the year they left Egypt, the day after the first Pesach. Īlthough principally a Temple based ritual, the midrash tells us that the tradition of counting Sefirat HaOmer long predates the Beit HaMikdash. Then on the 50th day, Shavuot, the two loaves baked from the first harvest of wheat were brought as an offering on the Mizbeach. From that day forward until Shavuot, an Omer, a specific measurement, of barley was brought and offered on the Mizbeach. Day in and day out, week in and week out, we count.Īt the time of the Beit HaMikdash, the Korban HaOmer, a grain offering consisting of barley, was brought on the second day of Pesach. We began counting on the second day of Pesach and will continue through Shavuot. We are now well into our yearly journey through Sefirat HaOmer.
