Halachic guidelines for Sefirat HaOmer

Towards the end of the days of Sefirat HaOmer (Counting of the Omer), sources on social media published Halachic guidelines for the public. According to the Abu Saleh Arab Desk channel, which is usually identified with security reporting and Arab desk affairs but this time addresses religious matters, anyone who did not strictly count from the first day of the Omer is not permitted to recite the blessing, and must "simply count" the remaining days.

In the Israel News | No Censorship - Voice of the News🇮🇱 channel, the full text of the reminder was brought, including the wording of the blessing: "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer."

According to the update shared for May 18, 2026, today marks "forty-seven days of the Omer, which are six weeks and five days." The reports conclude with the customary prayer: "May the Merciful One restore to us the service of the Holy Temple to its place, speedily in our days, Amen Sela" as published on Abu Saleh Arab Desk.
