Hi Everyone! The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Thursday, May 23, 2019. If you are flying over Israel on Wednesday night, May 22, 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 42 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer". The address is: https://jr.co.il/hotsites/lag-ba-omer.htm English Hebrew Lag Ba'omer vocabulary sheets at: http://www.english-hebrew-dictionary.com/lag-baomer-1.htm I also created a new Spotify song playlist at: http://bit.ly/jrichman-spotify-lag-baomer Enjoy the bonfires!
