JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. The First Shabbat Celebrated (1313 BCE)

Shalom! World.
Today is: Thursday, Nissan 24, 5773 · April 4, 2013
Omer: Day Nine - Gevurah sheb'Gevurah.
Count "Ten Days to the Omer" Tonight
Tomorrow is the tenth day of the Omer Count. Since, on the Jewish calendar, the day begins at nightfall of the previous evening, we count the omer for tomorrow's date tonight, after nightfall: "Today is ten days, which are one week and three days, to the Omer." (If you miss the count tonight, you can count the omer all day tomorrow, but without the preceding blessing).
The First Shabbat Celebrated (1313 BCE)
Two days after the Jews crossed the Red Sea (see Jewish History for the 21st of Nissan) they arrived in Marah. There they received several commandments; one of them was to observe the Shabbat. The first Shabbat was observed on the 24th of Nissan.
Shalom! Aleichem.
