20 - Emor - Sefiras Haomer- Fourth Aliyah
by Hauer, Rabbi Moshe
In the 4th
aliyah
of
Parshas Emor
,
Sefiras Haomer
is discussed as the time period between the bringing of the barley offering on
Pesach
to the offering of the loaves of bread on
Shavuos
. This transition from the food of animals to the refined, processed food of a human teaches us about our work during this time period. We are involved in the upward process of refining ourselves as human beings, making sure that we express our G-dliness. We mourn the deaths of Rabi Akiva's students, who did not fully appreciate that a human can reach levels of G-dliness and bringing honor to Hashem, even when we are in
golus
conditions that are much less than honorable.
