The Month of Iyyar (אִיָּר)
Iyyar is the month of healing. The Hebrew letters of Iyyar (אייר) are an acronym for "Ani Hashem Rofecha" — "I am God, your Healer" (Exodus 15:26). It is also the month of the Omer, the 49-day count between Passover and Shavuot, a time of spiritual self-refinement. Key dates include Yom HaZikaron (Israel's Memorial Day), Yom HaAtzmaut (Israel's Independence Day), Pesach Sheni (Second Passover on the 14th), and Lag BaOmer (the 33rd day of the Omer, on the 18th).
