The rules
The Omer is counted at night, after nightfall, from the second night of Passover for forty-nine days, up to the eve of Shavuot (Leviticus 23:15-16). It is counted standing, saying the blessing first.
If one forgot to count at night, one counts the next day without a blessing and then continues with a blessing; if a whole day was missed, one continues without a blessing (Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 489:8). For a specific case, ask your rabbi.
During these weeks many communities keep mourning customs; the dates vary (until Lag BaOmer, or until the 3rd of Sivan).
For a halakhic ruling, ask your rabbi.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Omer count?
From the second night of Passover to the eve of Shavuot, forty-nine days, seven weeks, are counted between the offering of the new barley (the omer) and the giving of the Torah. Each night one says how many days and weeks have passed.
At what time is the Omer counted?
After nightfall (tzeit hakochavim). The page gives the day to count tonight; your city’s nightfall time is on its times page.
What is the text of the count?
“Today is N days, which are W weeks and D days of the Omer”; the page gives the Hebrew text for the evening, with a translation.
