This Holy Broken World - a guide to counting the omer through grief, joy and resistance
This zine was created to guide people through counting the omer, a mystical 49 day practice that begins the second night of Passover. It is filled with reflections on how we show up fully for the heartbreaks, sorrows, joys, and wonders of being alive in these times, and can be a great way to connect with these questions at any time of year.
All of the labor, talent, and materials for this project have been donated so that 100% of funds can go directly to Mohammed and his family in Gaza to help their continued survival. They appreciate your support!
This zine includes an introduction to how to count the Omer, the count for the days in English and transliterated Hebrew, and reflections for each day connecting with its teachings and themes.
May these reflections connect us to the mysterious, infinite support that is always available. May the magic of this practice help us get free, and help us stand and risk together so that we may all get free.
