Halocho #2288 - What day of the Omer is it today?



Before making the Bracha on counting the Omer one should know which day one is going to count.

If one has not yet counted the Omer, and somebody wants to know which day we're up to, one should tell them "yesterday was such-and-such".

If, instead, one replied "today we are counting such-and-such" one may not be allowed to make a Bracha on that night's count, since one has already counted.

However, one should still count "properly" (without a Bracha) since one has to mention the weeks as well.

לְכַתְּחִלָּה קֹדֶם שֶׁיְבָרֵךְ, צָרִיךְ שֶׁיֵדַע עַל מַה הוּא מְבָרֵךְ, דְּהַיְנוּ שֶׁיֵּדַע כַּמָּה יָמִים הוּא בַּסְּפִירָה, וּבְדִיעֲבַד אִם לֹא יָדַע וּפָתַח וּבֵרֵךְ עַל דַּעַת שֶׁיִּסְפּוֹר כְּמוֹ שֶׁיִּשְׁמַע מֵחֲבֵרוֹ, גַּם כֵּן יָצָא

הַשּׁוֹאֵל מֵחֲבֵרוֹ בֵּין הַשְּׁמָשׁוֹת אוֹ אַחַר כָּךְ, כַּמָּה מוֹנִים הַיּוֹם, יֹאמַר לוֹ, אֶתְמוֹל הָיָה כָּךְ וְכָךְ. שֶׁאִם יֹאמַר לוֹ כַּמָּה מוֹנִים הַיּוֹם, אֵינוֹ רַשַּׁאי לְבָרֵךְ אַחַר כָּךְ עַל הַסְּפִירָה
