With Earth Day overlapping with counting the Omer this year, the Masorti Environmental Sustainability Initiative has prepared the following prayer for our communities to use during the Omer, and everyday weekday services. Written by Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin and Rabbi Avram Israel Reisner, it was designed to serve as a daily expression of the Movement's commitment to the mitzvah of Yishuv Ha'olam, the imperative to preserve a habitable world. Print and share it with your communities.

Counting the Omer, Sefirat haOmer, is a daily mitzvah that begins on the second night of
Passover and lasts until Shavuot. In the Torah, Leviticus 23:10, we are commanded to bring
daily portions, the first Omer or sheaf of barley, for seven weeks for collection at the
Temple. Inspired by the mystical tradition, it has become a custom to focus on spiritual
growth during the 49 days between celebrating our liberation from slavery on Passover
and the giving of the Torah on Shavuot. Click below to learn more about Counting the Omer.
