[Avodah] Isru Chag

[Cantor Wolberg]

The gematria for Isru Chag is 278, the same gematria for l'machar found in Bamidbar, Ch.11, vs.18.  
This is in the Sidra, Beha'alotch, where God has Moshe establish a Sanhedrin because Moshe complained that he could not carry on alone.  
God says to Moshe: "To the people you shall say, 'Prepare yourselves for tomorrow and you shall eat meat..."  
 
There is an interesting tie here.  The day after a festival is the "morrow" and even though the holiday is over, 
we must always be preparing ourselves.  As a matter of fact, in counting the omer, we are preparing ourselves 
for mattan Torah in 50 days.
