Kesher Talk

D'oh! Tonight at sundown the second day of Pesach begins, which means it's time to start counting the Omer, the "measured" days between Pesach and Shavuot.

Worried that you might forget to count, and thereby miss out on the mitzvah? Now you can count the Omer with Homer Simpson! (Courtesy of Thoughts from a Rabbi.)

I blogged more seriously about it here, and there are informative explanations of the practice here and here, and you can go here to sign up for daily e-mail Omer reminders, if you want. Still, I think the Homer Simpson one is my favorite link of them all.
