This night, Rishon (Rishon means First, the First day of the week) Aviv 16 begins the second day of the feast of unleavened bread.
When do we begin to count the omer? I know two ways that would begin the count today Aviv 16, but I don't know (for certain). Since the first day of the feast of unleavened bread was a holy day on Shabbat. The other options would be this Shabbat the day after Aviv 21 which is a Holy Day, or the day after that Shabbat. How do I interpret the relevant passage in the Torah and is there anything else that informs us in Jewish Writing or Literature?
Thank you.
Shalom.
Jacob
