Get StartedWhy All These References to Shabbat? (Part 8 of 9)
Refa'einu: Prayer, Sefirah And Healing From Trauma
In the last episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu discovered a connection between Sefirat HaOmer and the story of the manna. In this episode, they dive deep into the meaning of that connection and what the miracle of the manna can teach us about appreciating our relationship with, and dependence upon, God. But the conversation doesn’t stop there. Once we understand the lesson of the manna, a question still remains: what does this have to do with Sefirat HaOmer, the time on our calendar when we prepare for receiving the Torah on Shavuot? The answer may lie in understanding a further connection between Sefirah, manna and... Shabbat. Listen to find out how this new piece of the puzzle adds an even richer dimension to Sefirat HaOmer, how it helps us prepare for Shavuot, and, ultimately, even connects back to the blessing of Refa’einu.
