Beginning on the 2nd night of Passover, we count the Omer, for 49 days, until we arrive at the festival of Shavuot. Counting the Omer began as a count toward the spring harvest, and it has evolved into a spiritual accounting. The Omer is a period for introspection, grounding, and personal growth, in preparation for receiving the Torah on Shavuot.

Join Rabbi Aderet for a hike in the great outdoors, where we’ll find a beautiful spot to enjoy learning, discussion and snacks in community. Learning in nature will provide us with an ideal setting for looking inward and discovering new places for us to stretch and grow utilizing this ancient ritual and time in the Jewish calendar.

Everyone welcome, this will be a hike suitable for folks at various levels.

We will meet up at a central hiking spot in DC. Specific meet up location to be shared with registrants.
