Never losing the emphasis on the Messianic character of the Torah, each year’s study reveals deeper and more significant insights into His person, His work and His words. Departing from a surface examination, more attention this year is paid to the Messiah’s adherence to and fulfillment of the Torah.
However, with a greater revelation of the character of G-d, comes the added responsibility of adapting our own lives in order to live His way. “Be holy, because I am holy” is a refrain often repeated throughout the pages of the Torah and our challenge is to constantly measure ourselves by comparing our conduct with His character, His nature and His ways.

Blessed are You, Hashem our G-d, King of the Universe, Who has set us apart with His commandments and commanded us to count the Omer.
After counting:
May the Merciful One restore unto us the Service of the Holy Temple to its place, speedily in our days - Amen, Selah.

"And you shall count unto you from the morrow after the Shabbos, from the day that you brought the omer-sheaf of the wave offering; seven Shabbatot shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the seventh Shabbos shall you number fifty days; and you shall offer a new tribute offering unto Hashem."
Leviticus 23:15-16
