Is it true that if the Rabbi of a Shul forgot due to the difficult travel circumstances of our times, to count one day of Sefira, and he still wants to continue for all in Shul as he always does and not be embarrassed, because of Kavod Habrios, can he do it?
A. To avoid embarrassment by implying that he forgot to count the Sefira and that is the reason he is not counting aloud for all now, the Rabbi can ask a friend present to avoid counting himself and instead comply with the public Rabbi’s blessing and counting, which is said also for him by the Rabbi.
