Counting the Omer in Melody and Midrash

The 49 days of the Omer are filled with anticipation and spiritual significance. Hadar’s Advanced Kollel and the Rising Song Institute gathered weekly to hear new melodies and explore midrash while counting toward the gift of receiving the Torah on Shavuot. Learn and sing along each week of the Omer as we work through a piece from Sifre Devarim, a halakhic midrash on the Book of Deuteronomy composed in Talmudic Israel/Babylon around 200 CE, exploring water-y metaphors for Torah.
