55 Between: Day 1 (Sunday) | Judaism in Ethiopia

1 Sivan 5786 AM | 1 AVE. Rosh Chodesh.

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us by Your Spirit and invited the nations to share in the richness of Your Word. We thank You for the people and state of Israel, including the Messiah, our First Fruits, through whom the harvest of life has begun.

Today is the forty-third day of the Omer according to the minority Sadducean count, which is 6 weeks and 1 day.

May the Spirit of Truth prepare my heart for the revelation of the 50th day.
