Q. I daven in an early minyan of Mincha and Maariv. It is very likely as it happened to me many times and to others, that if I don’t count then sefira I will forget later on, When is the earliest one can count sefira?
A. On question 3139 we wrote:
“Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a informed us that Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is (the Rov is out of town), that in need one may recite sefira (in Toronto at the beginning of Sefira) forty minutes after the Shekia (and on great need even thirty five minutes).
Horav
Kalman Ochs Shlit'a mentioned
that Horav Eliashiv Zt’l paskened that in Toronto you can
count lchatchilla at 30 minutes.
