#5876 – Count When It Counts!

Question

Kvod Horav.

I often take part in a women’s shiur on line and at the end of class they count Sefira. If I actually repeat the words said is that OK?

How about if my husband also takes part or my children over six?

Answer

Indeed if one says the actual counting, one indeed complies with the mitzva. The actual bracha should also be recited first.
