maybe one day we can give extra sadaqa another day we can try to be kinder to someone another day maybe we can try to learn to be more patient and you before you know it 49 days will be up and we will get the Torah and on each of those days it's also a mitzvah to count each of those days on day number one we say today is day number one on day number two and so forth we count the days towards getting the Torah and then before you know it it'll be the 49th day and then the next day will be Shavuot and finally we'll receive the Torah our new that's right tora tora tora tora tora tora tora viva la new motion more russia ke liye taco toh ROTC belong new motion look inside the Torah and you will see Hashem commanding you and me to count the Sphero we should do come on take a look won't you the Torah says Oh Spartan Locke m-my Maharaja Shabbat meal Mohave ahem at Omaha Tonopah shava shava taught to me mot Tiana and you shall count seven full weeks of the Omer from after Pesach here's how to count the Omer first you need to find out which night of the Omer it is just check a Jewish calendar or go on Habad org next you need to say the bracha the bracha for counting the Omer is as follows baruch ATA adonai eloheynu melech ha-olam asher kadhi shinobi mitzvah tov vet Savano al spirit ah Omer blessed are You God who gave us the mitzvah of counting the Omer then you need to count which day of the Omer it is and how many weeks that is for example if it's the first night you would just say hi yum yum Acathla Omer today is the first day of the owner if it's the seventh night you would say today is the seventh day of the Omer which is one week if it's the tenth you would say today is the tenth day of the Omer which is one week and three days every night you count is a mitzvah which means if you count the whole Omer you get 49 mitzvahs Wow happy counting well I'm in my art room now I'm gonna make something special for Devorah to help her count the days towards Dov Dov coming to play what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take some of these cups here these little plastic he cups and I'm gonna make a calendar a counting calendar a counting game that you can play every single day that Dov Dov is coming up to seven days so I'm gonna write numbers on each Cup I'm gonna write number one on Cup number one and then a number two mm-hmm then a number three mm-hmm then a number four then number five number six and last number seven that's right now Devorah will be able to know which number day it is and then on the seventh day that's when Dov Dov is going to come okay I think I'm gonna glue on each one now so on the bottom of the cup just put a little bit of hot glue and if you use hot glue make your emo or Abba your mommy or daddy help you to do this activity because hot glue could burn your finger a little bit and we don't want anyone to get a boo-boo or to get hurt here we go to do number five just a little bit of glue works just to stick it make sure the six is the right way or else it'll look like a nine and that would really confuse Devorah and number seven all right how does that look all right one two three four five six seven counting the days towards her friend dove dove coming to play alright next what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna make a little sign for Devorah so she knows this is her special box for Wendover Dover's coming to play I'm gonna make a sign that goes standing up like that or maybe from the back cause she's gonna come over there and I'm gonna write on the card I'm gonna write down okay I'm gonna write counting calendar counting counting and because I'm going to use candies I'm gonna write counting candy cow [Music] all right oh right counting candy calendar and now I'm gonna glue it on to the back of devorah's counting calendar and I'm just gonna use a little bit of the glue again just to glue do a couple dots just so it sticks on dudu and she could use this for any kind of counting doesn't have to be dope dope coming over to play it could be any kind of calendar she wants to count a week because a week is seven days of course so there's her seven day counting candy calendar hmm I have the calendar I have the counting I think I'm missing one thing the candies I have these little dum-dum candies there's a little little baby pacifier candies I think I'll put one in each of the numbers two three four five six and seven candies and now Devorah will be very excited every day she gets to come and she says okay today is day number one and she could eat a candy and then on day number two she could eat a candy too all right well that was easy to make number seven now if you wanted to do something like that you'd probably have to get forty-nine candies and the 49 candies you would do the same thing you would have 49 cups or you could just do seven because really forty-nine days is seven weeks seven times seven is forty-nine so you could do one week and at the end of that week you could just put seven new candies in the cups and keep on counting until the finally after the seventh week then the next day will be Shavuot and we'll be ready to get the Torah for sure so there's a little counting candy calendar for Dvor I hope she likes it and I'm gonna make sure all my things are put away nicely and you could try it yourself all right I can't wait to give it to Devorah I'll see you later well hi there rabbi be here today I want to teach you about the word patience or in Hebrew solve la Newtons you know patients or Savoie notes is a very important character trait to have it shows that you're gonna be able to wait your turn and wait till the person is ready for you it's a very good way to be not to get impatient and to get upset but to wait your turn and when it's your time well then it's your turn and that also shows that you believe that Hashem is the one who runs the show so having patience is very important rabbi B what are you doing here hello I'm here I'm ready to get the Torah no no we just got out of mitts Ryan we just left Egypt we just are out of Pesach and now we're getting ready to get the Torah but I'm ready now well I know you're ready now but we're not ready Hashem has given us 49 days to get ready 49 days oh you're gonna have to have some patience patience but I want it now I know you want it now but Hashem has given us these 49 days of spirit Amer to get us ready for the Torah but I am ready look I took a bath and everything haha I know you're you look ready for shovels but you're not ready for Shevat because Hashem doesn't just want us to get clean and wear nice clothes that's not how we only get ready for shove what and getting the Torah Hashem wants us to fix our neshama also our Jewish soul and make it so shiny and beautiful and ready to get the Torah too well how do I clean my neshama well the way you wash your soul is by doing Mitzvahed by learning Torah and of course by fixing your character traits your me--don't or meetups oh so I need to get myself and my soul ready yep well I think this year maybe I should be a little more patient with you that's right okay and I think I'll be more patient with you great so rabbi B and Rabbi B are both going to be more patient you know this year for Shabbat I think I'm gonna work on my savoir newtons and instead I'm gonna work on my patience no sovereign oohed and patience are the same thing oh so I'll work on my sovereign oats great well patiently saying goodbye rabbi B and Rabbi B bye bye-bye well hi there you know patience is a very important meda character trait to have being patient means you're able to wait now you know when you ask your mommy or daddy for something and they say just wait one minute have you ever really waited a full minute I think right now we should try to see what it feels like to wait for a full minute are you ready let's start the timer at one minute and see if we can do it go how long that was 10 seconds so far getting kinda bored maybe we should hum a song to ourselves [Music] that was 30 seconds so far okay maybe I'll make some funny faces hmm that was okay how long we have oh we have 14 seconds I think something okay oh two seconds and that's one minute of waiting that wasn't so hard I think you could do that yourself whenever mommy or daddy say just one second or just one minute just wait patiently just sit and wait and breathe and think and do something quietly to yourself until your mommy or daddy or whoever asks you to be patient is ready when is the song gonna start already Hey just have a little patience that's right have a little patience well how long do I have to wait when will the fish eat the bait when can we have our playdate good things come to those that Wade's where's that waiter with my plate when
