over the Roman persecutors. This
day, Lag B'Omer, is another fes-
tival commemorating a victorious
battle for independence.
The counting of the Omer is
done toward the close of the eve-
ning service on the first day of
Passover. We recite: "Lo. I am
about to fulfill the affirmative
precept of the counting of the
Omer as it is written in the I
Torah: And ye shall count unto i
you from the morrow after the
day of rest from the day that
we brought the Omer as a wave
offering, seven complete weeks
they shall be, unto the morrow
of the seventh week. shall ye '
number fifty days." (Leviticus
23. 15-18).
And we recite the blessing:
"Blessed art Thou. 0 Lord our
God, King of the Universe, who
hast hallowed us by Thy com-
mandments and hast given us
command concerning the count-
ing of the Omer."
An omer is a half gallon of
barley, the first to ripen of the
grains sown in winter: it was
solemnly cut in the field and
the yield of this sheaf was
brought to the sanctuary as a
token of gratitude to the Lord
of the harvest.
The 33rd day of this period—
Lag B'Omer—is celebrated as
a half holiday and all restrictive
laws valid for other days are
suspended, for it commemorates
the brilliant victory of Bar Koch-
ba in 135 C. E. over the 'giant
Roman armies. But towards the
end of this fateful year the Ro-
mans succeeded to destroy Jerus-
alem and kill Bar Kochba.
