Just wondering what others do.
Do you have the kabbalistic sefiros in your nussach for Sefiras Haomer?

I use Simon Jacobson's book on Sefiras Haomer and I love it...I can work on the important relationships in my life, and counting has a whole new dimension.

It has made Sefirah so meaningful. And even if you aren't counting with a bracha, you still get to explore all the Sefiros and what they mean in your relationship with G-d and with people in your life.

Not in the slightest.

Most non-Lubavitchers that I've had contact with do not say/acknowledge anything about sefiros.

I don't actually use a siddur to count the omer since when all you need is the bracha, counting, harachaman it's pretty straightforward.

Is it part of the nussach in your siddur, though?
I really have no idea what others do about this, I've never counted sefira with anything but a Nussach Ari siddur.
For example, our nussach goes like this: the bracha, the counting, Harachaman, Laminatzeach, Ana B'choach, and then the paragraph of Ribono Shel Olam where we ask Hashem to fix any of our blemishes in these certain sefiros.

I'm asking because I remember an old friend (not Lubav) telling me how there's a new shiur on her Yishuv where she learned about the ten Sefiros but some of them had different names. I was wondering if others had it incorporated into their Sefiras HaOmer as well.

I use the all hebrew Artscroll (Ashkenaz) and it is there. It also starts with l'shem yichud.

And thanks, this reminded me to count.

Anyone have a nussach for sefiras ha'omer without the sefiros?

Does anyone know offhand if the sefiros is the Artscroll siddur have the same names as we use? (chesed, gevurah, tiferes, netzach, hod, yesod, malchus)
I would check but I don't have an Artscroll siddur in my house.

You moved me to check every siddur in my house. They all have it.
