Q. How come on the Leshem Yichud tefila said before the counting of the Omer we mention: “Hineni Muchan Umezuman Lekayem Mitzvas Aseh Shel Sefiras Haomer” (I’m ready to comply with the positive commandment of Sefira) Why? After all almost all Poskim maintain that Sefira in our days is only Rabbinical?

A. Indeed, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that the term “Mitzvas Aseh” should be omitted.

Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a.
