| Lag B’Omer and Yom Yerushalayim |
|
|
Lag B’Omer The period between the festival of Pesach and Shavuot is called the Omer. It lasts for 49 days, which we count daily and considered a time of mourning. The Omer is a specified measure of grain required for offering during Temple times.
|
However on the 33rd day which is known as Lag B’Omer we celebrate with outings and light bonfires and actively participate in joyous activities.
