Time for seder and then counting the omer!

It's that time to count the omer as we travel from slavery to freedom at Mt. Sinai. Here is this year's question.

Sometimes it is a source of pride and sometimes it is a source of shame. With all that, can you answer this simple and complex question: What does Israel mean to me?
