Dear friends,
The Yeashore Community is very proud to present The Omer Project. We invite you to count the Omer with us!
This week we will be gathering:
Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 8:15 p.m. on Fifteenth Ave near Clement, East side of the street, at the back of Temple Beth Sholom, in front of Horowitz Family Education Center.
We hope you will join us, since We all Count.
Visit
http://Yeashore.net to see the current schedule. We have several Jewish Communities, from Chabad to Reform, in the Richmond and the Sunset who have agreed to participate! We are communicating with even more to join us.
The Omer Project is all about bringing people together and emphasizing the message that we all count.
----- Omer Songs -----
There are a few Omer counting songs that exist, but they are either inane or are symphonic, musical masterpieces - neither type works well for a gathering of people to count the Omer together.
So, we wrote some of our own and have posted two of them to YouTube. If you can't join us, you can still learn The Omer Project counting songs!
Here they are at our YouTube channel:

-=-=-=-=-=- About the Omer Project -=-=-=-=-=-
Join The Omer Project, as we gather to count the Omer on different street corners in the Sunset and Richmond districts of San Francisco. There are 49 numbered streets in those neighborhoods, in perfect correspondence to the 49 days of counting the Omer. (Was G-d on the City Planning Commission, or what?) As if that’s not cool enough, the Torah has been symbolically compared to the ocean, and Torah scholars have been compared to the fish in the sea.
We count our way through the Avenues. We gather in community and at synagogues in the Sunset and Richmond districts. We count the Omer at the numbered avenue that corresponds with the particular Omer day.
Rain or shine... We all Count! (Bring an umbrella if you need it)
The Omer Project is all about bringing people together and emphasizing the message that we all count. To show that Congregations Count, we gather at synagogues throughout the Sunset and Richmond. To show that Community Counts, we join together to learn a new spiritual quality each week. To show that Individuals Count, we offer a punch card and information sheet for you to count the Omer on your own.
The Omer Project is a program of the Yeashore Community.
