Counting the Homer
The 2nd night of Pesach we begin the mystical, meditative discipline of counting the Omer, which re-enacts on a spiritual level each step in the journey from the liberation at the Red Sea to the revelation of Torah at Sinai.
The creative synthesis of American pop culture and ancient Jewish tradition has produced an innovation called Counting the Homer. The Homer website has a whole section on the Jews of Springfield, and links to the Simpsons Talmud and learned investigations of the Simpsons Sephardic crypto-Jewish ancestry. D'oh.
