Hi Everyone! The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Sunday, May 6, 2007. If you are flying over Israel on Saturday night (5th) and you look down out of your plane, you will see thousands of bonfires dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see. There are various customs and explanations for these celebrations.
I posted on my website 40 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer". All 40 links have been reviewed / checked this week. The web address is: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdayla.htm Enjoy the bonfires!
