BEKI's Rabbi Eric Woodward will lead a conversation about “Yom HaShoah and Yom HaAtzmaut: A New Omer?” via Zoom. The mourning practices of the Omer commemorate a plague in the second century CE. But what if a new, reinvigorated Omer commemorated the contemporary Jewish observance of the time between Yom HaShoah and Yom Ha’atzmaut? What would be involved in making this move theologically and halakhically? To request the Zoom link, please contact the BEKI office.
