Jewish academic and Hebrew scholar Irene Lancaster on what lessons her community are learning from the Scripture readings that come straight after Pesach (Passover).
In the last three weeks we have celebrated the freedom festival of Pesach. We have also commemorated two more contemporary dates in the Jewish calendar: Holocaust Memorial Day and Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism. The latest such event took place on the third contemporary Jewish festival, Yom Atzmaut – Israel Independence Day.
As the Jewish State enters her 75th year of existence, we continue to count the Omer on a daily basis.
