JEWISH ART SALON
NEW YORK---
Counting of the Omer, (sometimes abbreviated as Sefira or the Omer) is a verbal counting of each of the
forty-nine days between the Jewish holidays of
Passover and
Shavuot. Omer-counters range from decorative boxes with an interior scroll that shows each day's count through a small opening, to calendars depicting all seven weeks and 49 days of the Omer.
Studio Gruss in New York came up with a highly original counter: a contemporary, sculptural piece consisting of seven levels stacked upon one another, symbolizing the weeks of the Omer. [
