Join Rabbanit Leora Balinsky for an in-depth examination of the Omer offering and Shavuot’s Shtei Halechem (“Two Breads”) offering. This two-part class will explore the unique Halachic and spiritual contents and connotations of the two offerings in depth, unpacking the connections between our holidays, our agriculture, and ourselves.
