Why We Count the Omer Like Paul (and not the Sadducees or the Essenes), 2025 Update

Shalom! I updated the study for the Omer count for calendar year 2025. The previous version was from 2022. There are not significant changes, but it is updated for the current year’s calendar and counting. Here is the structure for the daily blessing and count

Baruch atah ADONAI, Eloheynu Melech HaOlam, asher qideshanu bemitzvotav vetzivanu al sefirat ha-omer.

Blessed are You, ADONAI our Elohim, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer.

Today is the ___ day of the ___ week in the counting of 7 weeks, 7 Sabbaths and 50 days to Shavuot. We have now counted __ days, __ Weeks, and __ Sabbaths.
