Kylie is trying to get a better understanding of this week’s theme, Yesod, or foundation and connection. Dassi Zar, co-director of Chabad House Bowery’s young professional’s branch, Kehilas Atid, returns to the show as our guide to understanding each weekly attribute.  
The Jewish tradition of counting the Omer, or Sefirat Haomer, marks the 49 days between the second night of Passover and the start of Shavuot. It is a time of introspection and an opportunity for spiritual challenge and growth.  
In this 7-week series, Kylie Unell invites you on her daily journey to make meaning out of this age-old tradition. Each week of the Omer corresponds to a different attribute of God. On each episode, airing weekdays, Kylie explores these various attributes by talking, reading, doing, speaking, and reflecting. 
49 Days to Stretch My Soul is a production of Tablet Studios. The show is hosted by Kylie Unell, and is produced and edited by Darone Ruskay, Josh Kross, Quinn Waller, Robert Scaramuccia and Sara Fredman Aeder. Our team includes Stephanie Butnick, Liel Leibovitz, Mark Oppenheimer, and Tanya Singer.
