Hi Everyone! The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Friday, May 23, 2008. If you are flying over Israel on Thursday night (22nd) 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 36 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer". All 36 links have been reviewed / checked this week. The web address is: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdayla.htm Enjoy the bonfires!
