#5878 – A Bed Cover?
Question
Dear Rabbi.
If one is already an elder, can he count Sefira with the bracha when already in bed, if he forgot to count before, and it is difficult for him now to get out of bed?
Answer
Indeed in such a situation he would still comply with the mitzva. However it is best to have a reminder installed in his phone or similar to count before at the beginning of the night, while standing and also reading the other prayers usually said when counting Sefira.
