Hi Everyone! The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Sunday, May 26 2024. If you are flying over Israel on Saturday night, May 25, 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 48 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer".
