Texts To Count On
Each week during the Omer, from Pesach to Shavuot, we'll introduce a text from our tradition that connects with our theme (70 Faces of Torah) and helps us build up to our Tikkun Leil Shavuot on 1st June.
We'll reveal each text in a short (15 minute) zoom on Sunday nights at 9pm when we'll count the Omer, read the text and then have a few minutes for any initial reflections on the text.
Do join us on our '70 Faces' journey! Even if you can't make the Count on Sunday night, the texts will be added here for you to come and see during the week.
