Educational Resources for Lag Ba'Omer

 Hi Everyone!

The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Friday, April 30, 2021. 

If you are flying over Israel on Thursday night, April 29, 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 42 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer".
