What is Lag BaOmer?
Lag BaOmer is a joyful Jewish holiday falling on the 33rd day of the Omer, the count of days between Passover and Shavuot. It is celebrated with bonfires, music and outdoor festivities.
The day marks the passing of the great sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who asked that it be a day of happiness, and the end of a plague among the students of Rabbi Akiva. Across the world, families head outdoors to celebrate together, and children join parades and games that show pride in being Jewish.
