<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> From: Micha Berger <micha@aishdas.org><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> Subject: [Avodah] Safeiq Sefirah<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> My 13 yr old boys and I were learning KSA yesterday,
and one of them <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> asked the following question:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> According to the KSA, if you are unsure if you
counted yesterday or <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> not, you can continue counting with a berakhah.
Chasing it down a <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> little, the reasoning seems to be sefeiq sefeiqa --
safeiq whether <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> omer is one mitzvah or many, and even if one
mitzvah, safeiq wehther <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> or not you broke the chain.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> So, Zack asked: We know from "mashiv
haruach" the rule that if you <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> haven't been saying something 30 days I should
assume I didn't say it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> To the extent that we override safeiq berakhos
lehaqeil and require <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> repeating.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I think the answer is how "chashuv" the thing
is. Similar to Megilas Esther that can be heard even though the general rule is
"drei koli lo...". So to here, "mashiv haruach" is a daily
thing for many months, a person will not remember. Sefira is (relatively) short
and "exciting", a person will remember. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Another distinction, which might be dependent on whether
one davened with a minyan, is that "MH" is said quietly to oneself,
while sefira is a public production.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>KT,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>MSS <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
