49 days, seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot
2 Sivan 5773 | May 11, 2013
46th Day of the Omer
Guide me, Holy One, on this final journey,
Your hand pointing the way,
Your loving eye upon my face
As I seek my new dwelling.
Surround me with Your kindness,
Embrace me with tranquility;
Soothe my fears with the surety of Your care,
Even as I release my tears to Your custody.
Then shall I find Your eternal gift of peace,
Laid out for my notice and my strength.
Linger near, Holy One, through these trials,
Easing my way as I fly to Your keeping.
Debbie Perlman, Flames to Heaven

Praised be you Adonai our God who rules the Universe instilling within us the holiness of mitzvot by commanding us to count the Omer.
