Hi Everyone! The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Thursday, May 3, 2018. If you are flying over Israel on Wednesday night, May 2, 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". 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! FYI: I am currently updating the links for Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, which is celebrated this year on May 13, 2018.
