Title Sefiras Ho'Omer
Summary Rabbi Potash spoke today about the Inyan of "Shomaya K'Oinah" - in particular with regard to the (topical) Mitzvah of Sefiras HaOmer. The source of this is a Gemara in Sukkah which discusses how the Chazzan used to say Ono Hashem and the tzibur would answer Hoishea Noh and the Gemara quotes from Nach in this regard. He then quoted a Gemara in Brochos which discusses the case of one who is davenning whereupon the Chazzan begins Chazoras Hashatz and reaches Kedusha - what should one do? If one should answer Kedusha (even in one's mind) using the mechanics of Shomaya K'Oinah - then surely this is an interruption?! Listen how Rabbi Potash masterfully unravelled all the main opinions of both the Rishonim and Achronim. He concluded with some beautiful "Drush" with the assistance of a marvellous S'fas Emess who suggests that each and every one of us received our own "personal" Kabbolas Hatorah.
