Why Do We Count The Omer?

What is the Omer? Why do we count it? How do we count it? Are we commanded to count it or is it just a tradition? Is it just a Jewish thing? Where does the counting of the Omer fall on the Hebrew calendar?
Rood Crew member Matthew Hall tackles these questions and more on the significance of the Omer in our lives today.

A timely answer to that age-old question and it's fulfillment.
