[Avodah] ceremonies in halacha

[Eli Turkel]

<<: We also have the ceremony of cutting the Omer done to show up the
Saducees.

Is that ceremony?>>

The Mishna describes in detail the ceremony of cutting the Omer, repeating
phrases 3 times etc.
none of this is needed for the mitzva of cutting the Omer. It was done
explicitly to make a ceremony stressing the timing of the event.
