Counting the Omer, a commandment

[AbbaLove]

Confusing ... which calendar should a Messianic Jew follow?
According to Chabad's calendar Omer Day 33-34 is May 2nd-3rd, 2018.

Still do not know the purpose of counting the omer, nor the spiritual significance in the counting.

The Omer Period — Time As Text | My Jewish Learning​

I looked to see if anyone had made a thread for the Counting of the Omer and I may have missed it but I'm starting this to help all Torah Observant members to keep track.

NOTE: I will be adding in to certain days, things that happened after the first Passover on those dates.

Hopefully, Lulav can provide some additional insight into why Omer Day 34 (May 6, 2018), is also considered by some as a "special Omer Day" such as is true with Omer Day 33 on May 5th.

I understand why May 5th, Omer 33 (Be-Har, Be-Chukotai, Lag B’Omer) is a special Omer Day, but would like to know why Omer 34 is also observed by some as a special/unique Omer Day in 2018?

Would appreciate any insight as to why Sunday, May 6th (Omer 34) is considered by some as a special Omer Day, as if Omer Day 33-34 were somehow a type of 2-day extended Sabbath, Shabbos, Shabbat to refrain from work?

Has the OP forsaken the Vow to Count the Omer?

Establishing and completing Vows is the only way to Real Transformation!

Thank you.. that is an interesting article... but it had a confusing statement....

"I would like to make an analogy, in order to get at something important that I think is going on here. Jewish texts, like all texts, are subject to corruption. Scribes and copyists make errors, typos and misprints occur, the physical quality of the manuscript or book deteriorates."

Yet it never pointed out any corruption of text, typos, errors, or misprints. Where the author went is in the Jewish tradition of margin comments as history brings new perspectives and content which we are all grateful for.
