Lag B’Omer
Lag B’Omer, a fun, festive holiday, falls on the 33rd day of counting the Omer, the 49-day period from the second night of Passover to the day before Shavuot. The Hebrew word lag is a combination of the Hebrew letters lamed, which has a numerical value of 30, and gimel, whose numerical value is three – giving the holiday its name.
Among La B’Omer’s many facets are agricultural aspirations, a release from mourning, celebration of Torah learning, and mindfulness of religious suppression. To celebrate, have a picnic, a cookout, make s’mores! Go camping! Celebrate with us at Temple Sinai and on your own.
