Methods of Counting the Omer Period
The mourning period during the counting of the omer (sefirat ha'omer) lasts for 33 days, but there are three ways to count them:
- Second night of Passover until Lag ba'Omer (33rd day of counting the omer).
- Rosh Chodesh Iyar until the third day before Shavuot (excludes Lag ba'Omer).
- Second day of Iyar until Shavuot.
