Hi Everyone! The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Thursday, May 26, 2016. If you are flying over Israel on Wednesday night (May 25) 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 43 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer". The address is: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/lag-ba-omer.htm I also created English Hebrew vocabulary sheets at: http://www.english-hebrew-dictionary.com/lag-baomer-1.htm Enjoy the bonfires! Reminder: Lag Ba'Omer, May 26, 2016, is also International Museum Day in Israel, and there will be over 60 museums around Israel open to the public for free!
