ANSWER SHEET
Match the Reason This Shabbos is HaGadol
THE WEEK HAS A SMALL SHABBOS THE OMER THE DAY AFTER
The Torah specifies that the “day after Shabbos”, the Omer is taken. Chaza”l
explain the intention is that the first day of Pesach (like any Moed) is also
called Shabbos (to counter the mistaken belief of other groups that did not
believe in the Oral traditions). Thus, since during the week a “small”
Shabbos would be observed (and to emphasize our belief in the Oral
tradition), Chaza”l declared the Shabbos prior to Pesach the “big” Shabbos.
