Lag BaOmer is a jewish holiday where people make campfires and celebrate around the fire, it is a very dangerous tradition and should be celebrated very carefully.

this year IDF soldiers decided to celebrate this holiday in the most sick way possible.

light houses and tents in rafah IS NOT JUDAISM.

THESE ARE NOT JEWISH VALUES.

this is sick inhumane terror attacks on refugees.

Taking off your clothes and covering yourself in sand to study Torah is ok. Smiting people with your eyes for forsaking eternal life is ok. Do what you need to cope.]

For my mishpocha who are counting with me, today is hod b'hod - lag b'omer - and tonight begins yesod b'hod.

Thank you so much for supporting my work!

The Omer is counted every nightfall starting the 2nd night of Passover until the night before Shavuot (marking when we received the Torah). This yearly cycle of counting lasts 49 days and every nightfall has its own opportunity for reflection. Each of the 7 weeks has its own focus and each of the 7 days within each week has its own focus within that focus. During Sefirat Ha'Omer, we are invited on a mystical journey, a journey that spirals us deeper and deeper into discovering what exists within our psyches and souls…

text reads:

today is hod b'hod - lag b'omer - the 33rd day of counting.

This minor holiday symbolizes our collective and individual resilience, 

and calls us to celebrate by witnessing the abundant splendor of nature.

i love lag b’omer because gun to my head i could not tell you what it’s for. we roast marshmallows around a campfire and sing songs and that’s about all i’ve got. i can give you a detailed, in depth explanation for every jewish holiday with the notable exception of lag b’omer.

Lag Sameach!

I'm flying in a few hours to visit my father in Baltimore. A plane is a strange place to be spending Lag BaOmer night, so high up in the sky that I won't even be able to smell the smoke that will be filling much Israel.

But I've got some downloaded Lag BaOmer classes, and printed up Rabbanit Yemima's segula booklet, and hope that even if I will be missing Lag Ba'Omer's smoke I will still be able to taste its spirit. Happy Lag BaOmer! Lag Sameach!

Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, we're really in it now.

Does archery target practice in my video game count as celebrating Lag BaOmer if I don’t have access to an archery range irl (and also it’s raining buckets and thundering)

Happy Lag Baomer!

Michael Kotsch: Lag baOmer - Freude und Tod in Israel

Gewöhnlich ist es ein Tag der Freude, der Familie und der Hochzeiten in Israel. In diesem Jahr jedoch mischt sich Trauer in den jüdischen Feiertag Lag baOmer. Da wo sonst Feuer angezündet wurden und ultraorthodoxe Juden bei fröhlicher Musik tanzten, sind in einer Massenpanik am Berg Meron am 29.4.2021 44 Menschen getötet und 150 verletzt worden. Ein Höhepunkt des Lag baOmer ist gewöhnlich ein…

Today on this celebration of the fire festival of Lag Ba’Omer, we’re going to look at the theme of the ש – Sh – Shin, which is the creation of fire which dries out the earth. The letter’s theme is described by Brashith (Genesis) 1:9-10 [...]
