Episode 266 - Parshat Emor: On Counting the Omer in Unprecedented Times

This week we shift focus from the Haftorah to the parsha which mentions the mitzvah of counting the Omer and the holiday of Shavuot. Through the prism of these mitzvot and with the insights of Dr. Tanya White, we explore what has happened to our people during the recent war with Iran and where we might go from here.
