Question
What is the law for someone who errs in counting?
Answer
Someone who errs in counting is considered as if they have not counted. Therefore, if they err in the days, it is as if they have not counted the days. If they err in the weeks, it is as if they have not counted the weeks. Therefore, if they err in one of them, they should recount that day without a blessing, but on the other days, even if they did not correct, they continue counting with a blessing. However, if they err in both, or if they err in the days and do not mention the weeks, whether because they forgot or in the first week when weeks are not mentioned, they continue counting on the other days without a blessing.
