Does The Omer Offering Permit The New Grain?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.

The omer sacrifice, brought on the second day of Pesach, renders chadash (new grain) permissible to eat. Or, at least, that’s what we thought — until, as we begin Masechet Menachot, we encounter the position of R. Yochanan and Reish Lakish, who contest that assumption. What, then, permits chadash? And what, for them, is the significance of the omer sacrifice? Join us for our first Gefet of this masechet, as we enter into a new set of halakhic concepts: the prohibition of chadash and the korban haomer.
