About “Lag BaOmer” in Hebrew
Lag BaOmer falls on the 33rd day of the Omer counting between Passover and Shavuot. It commemorates the end of a plague among Rabbi Akiva's students and the yahrzeit of the mystical sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. In Israel, bonfires are lit across the country, and hundreds of thousands make a pilgrimage to Rabbi Shimon's tomb on Mount Meron.
