Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on \u05e1\u05e4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d4.\nDiscussed:\n\n The Baal Haturim explains that the Pasuk of the \u05de\u05df has all the letters of the Alef Bais as a message that Hashem will provide someone who keeps the Torah with all their needs just as Hashem provided Klal Yisroel in the desert with the \u05de\u05df. This is why when Yirmiyahu rebuked Klal Yisroel to learn more Torah he showed them the \u05de\u05df as proof a person has time to learn since Hashem will take care of them. This is the Gemora\u2019s message that the Torah was only given to \u05de\u05df eaters, to highlight two interconnected parts; you need faith in Hashem to be able to learn, and at the same time, if you learn Torah, Hashem will take care of your needs.\n\n\n Sefer Chinuch explains that the Korban Omer celebrates the idea that everything is from Hashem, and that the yearly crop is no different than \u05de\u05df which falls from heaven. We can now understand why we count Sefira using the Korbon Omer as a barometer, and why we count away from Pesach (which represents Emunah) and build towards Bitachon and the Kabalas Hatorah of Shavous.
