On March 27, 1999, The Seattle Times published an article on a new book dealing with kabbalism entitled, "A Journey of Awakening: 49 Steps from Enslavement to Freedom." Ted Falcon, author of the book, intends it to be a "meditative guide based on kabbalistic traditions for Jews and others who are counting Omer this spring." Omer is the Jewish religious time from Passover, which commemorates the Jewish exodus from Egypt, to Shavuot, which celebrates the giving of the Torah to Moses by God.
