The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is celebrated
Monday night May 4 and Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
If you are flying over Israel on Monday night,
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.
This year, due to weather and security considerations,
bonfire areas will be restricted to areas designated by
each municipality and fire department.
I posted on my website 42 links to learn
about "Lag Ba'Omer".
