Ben Zoma says: Who is the wise one? One who learns from all people, as it says, "I have acquired understanding from all my teachers" Who is the mighty one? One who conquers his or her impulse, as it says, "slowness to anger is better than a mighty person and the ruler of his spirit than the conqueror of a city." Who is the rich one? All who are happy with their lot.
Baruch Ata Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha’olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al sefirat ha’Omer. Blessed are You Adonai, Sovereign of all, who hallows us with mitzvot, commanding us to count the Omer.
Today is the 47th day, which is 6 weeks and 5 days of the Omer.
