Month Of Iyar 2024. Each evening we recite a special blessing and count the days and weeks that have passed since the omer; Iyar is the second month on the jewish calendar counting from nisan.

What is the first month of the jewish calendar? On the torah’s calendar, the month of iyyar falls between the great month of redemption (i.e., nisan) and the third month of revelation (sivan), and is therefore primarily commemorated as a ‘month of passage’ from the bondage of egypt to the revelation given at sinai.
