Multilingual omer counter jigsaw puzzle

Around the globe and throughout history, Jewish communities have counted each day of the Omer, the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot. Usually these recitations have been in the sacred liturgical language, Hebrew. But when Jews have talked informally about their daily counts, they have generally done so in their vernacular. In most places, this has been a Judaized version of the local language, such as Judeo-Italian or Judeo-Persian. In some cases, like Ladino and Yiddish, they have spoken a completely different language from their non-Jewish neighbors. Diversity can also be found within languages, as each has had multiple geographically based dialects. Our multilingual Omer counter highlights this linguistic diversity by presenting each of the 49 days in a different language or dialect, indicating one city or town where Jews have spoken that way. Works best in a large format.
