Maimonides Minute Special: Aleinu, the Omer, and Coronavirus Confinement
6:17 pm
Why is Aleinu recited at the end of every synagogue service, but omitted after Shacharit on Shabbat and Yom Tov? Why do some congregations count the Omer after Aleinu, while most do it beforehand? And what does all of this teach us about the day that we eventually resume our lives in public after this period of confinement?
