The Omer: The Practical And The Spiritual

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

The Omer is a time of counting. This class will disentangle the interwoven streams of what exactly our people have been counting throughout the ages. From the agricultural to the mystical, we will explore this trepidatious time in our calendar. Participants will also walk away with concrete spiritual practices to ground and deepen their personal Omer counting this year.

Eli Witkin is a playful and experienced educator. Whether hosting a monthly Rosh Chodesh Kumzits, guiding children through the woods, or teaching teens Hebrew Calligraphy, curiosity and spirituality are always at the forefront. When you join Eli for a class - no matter the topic - there is always space for you, your questions, and the insights that are generated together.
