Machshava:

Exploring Judaism 

Collections: R' Amsel Welcome to What Does Judaism Say About...?

Description

Although it seems like a simple Torah commandment – to count the fifty days between the Passover Jewish liberation until the Jews received the Torah at Mount Sinai, here are many deeper values and  concepts in the Mitzvah. This podcast will examine those values, and how the different customs relating to counting show how people count the days of their lives, the connection of this commandment to the holiday or Purim and also the differing view of the ideal Jewish existence.
