5th Day of the Omer
Let us feed on the love of goodness.
let us drink from the love of goodness,
restrain our thirst for excess,
and cleanse our hearts to serve life well.
...may we draw nearer
in life, in peace and in joy.
Mishkan Tefillah
Baruch Ata Adonai Elo-hei-nu me-lech ha-olam a-sher ke-d-sha-nu b- mitz-vo-tav, v-tzi-va-nu al s-fi-rat ha-omer.
Praised be you Adonai our God who rules the Universe instilling within us the holiness of mitzvot by commanding us to count the Omer.
Today is the fifth day of the Omer.
