Emor - the omer

After making brief mention of the Shabbat, the Torah talks about the holiday of Passover and the mitzvah of eating matzah. On the second day of this holiday, an "omer" barley offering is brought in the Temple. This is followed by a seven-week counting period that culminates with the holiday of Shavuot. After discussing the Shavuot Temple service, the Torah briefly interrupts the holiday discussion to mention the obligation, when harvesting fields, to leave certain gifts for the poor.

Meditative wheat drawing about counting the omer
Chose a simple drawing that is  related to the theme of Counting the Omer…wheat. Drawing a stalk of wheat is just a few basic shapes that don’t need to be perfect.
