Special Four Part Series on Shavuot – The Festival of Weeks
My wife Debbie and I, Joseph Good, have produced four one hour programs on the Festival of Shavuot. These programs I am especially pleased with as Debbie adds an element that makes the festival come alive. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did in filming each session. Each hour is presented in half hour segments and will be posted on Arba4 on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays each week leading up to Shavuot. We pray that they will enhance your observance of the festival.
Program One – The Counting of the Omer – Part A
This program begins our series and builds the bridge from Passover to Shavuot. In the First Century C.E. the Day of the Waving of the Barley was hotly contested between the Sadducees and Pharisees. There is nothing new under the sun. The same controversy continues to this day and has become a frying pan issue in the non-Jewish Torah World. Debbie poses some interesting questions. The program also ties the counting of the Omer into the resurrection of the dead. Lastly, we go over how to count the days of the Omer and suggestions as to what you might do with your children.
