Question:
Someone asked me what the omer is (the person asked “hayom…?”) and I answered “arba.” If I did not end up counting sefiras haomer that night, can I use the fact that I answered “arba” to the question to be considered as if I counted the omer that night and continue counting with a bracha on future nights?
Answer:
Hi, the person would have to count from now on without a bracha, because he was not yotza the first time since he didn't say today is four.
