Lag b'Omer By HERZL B. SHUR It was customary In the days of old, To bring an omer of grain Into the Temple's fold. Giving a measure of grain As an offering to God, Was the joy of each Israelite, Who worked the sod. Kindliness and generosity Generated from this deed, And the cares of the needy, Were handled with Godspeed. From the second day of Pesach to the first day of Shavuot Did this counting of the Omer lass, And for each day of giving, Each Israelite was blessed. Regular 60% OFF Rite Price $50.00 ;20.00 1.
