Lag b'Omer bonfire
Lag BaOmer, the 33rd day of the Omer count (this year, May 26, 2016) is a festive day on the Jewish calendar. It is celebrated with outings (on which the children traditionally play with bows and arrows), bonfires, and other joyous events. Many visit the resting place (in Meron, northern Israel) of the great sage and mystic Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the anniversary of whose passing is on this day.
t is traditional to light bonfires on Lag BaOmer eve. These commemorate the immense light that Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai
introduced into the world via his mystical teachings. This was
especially true on the day of his passing, Lag BaOmer, when he revealed
to his disciples secrets of the Torah whose profundity and intensity the world had yet to experience.
