COUNTING DAYS is a text-based Gemara mini-series focused on the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha"Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that leads us up to Shavuot -- the holiday commemorating the Giving of the Torah. The series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling grain offering called The Omer, the eponymous source for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65b - THE HOLIDAY CALENDAR | More about a major Torah Triumphs in Antiquity. Fascinating details on an important theological debate that had an enormous impact of Jewish Life, Religious Observance, and the course of History! In Part Three we continue to analyze the second of two of major struggles between Torah Judaism and non-Halachic pseudo-religious Jewish movements. As the supreme Torah Leader of the day enters the fray, a surprising line of reasoning is introduced. In looking beneath the simplistic surface, we learn to appreciate the profundity of his sage approach. This is the third Episode of the series entitled COUNTING DAYS on Sefirat Ha'Omer.
