Educational websites about Lag Ba'Omer

Hi Everyone!

The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Sunday, May 2, 2010. If you are flying over Israel on Saturday night (May 1) 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 38 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer". All 38 links have been reviewed / checked this week.

Enjoy the bonfires!
