This period between Passover and Shavuot, is known as the Sefirat Ha’Omer, when we count each day, each week on our exodus from Egypt to Sinai. During this strange moment of the pandemic, as we remember life as it used to be, and we wonder what life will be like in the months ahead, Rabbi Ruth gleans inspiration from the Jewish mystics who remind us that awakening to the sacredness of this moment is a slow journey, step by step, but one that can be done even as we engage is social distancing.
