ל״ג בעומר

WELCOME TO OUR LAG B'OMER CELEBRATION!

When the children of Israel left Egypt, they spent the next 49 days wondering in the desert.  On the 50th day, they received the Torah at
​Mount Sinai.  We count these days every year.  It’s called the counting of the Omer.  Lag B’Omer is a minor holiday we celebrate on the 33rd day of the counting of the Omer. 

Lag  
ל ג literally means 33.

LAG B'OMER ACTIVITIES

Create a paper chain - you will need strips of paper and tape.  If you want, decorate the links before you join them in a chain.  Use the chain to count down to an event by removing one link each day until the day of your event.  Is your birthday coming up?  A special family day?
Have a picnic - Many people celebrate Lag B'Omer by going on picnics.  What would you pack for your picnic?  You can have a pretend picnic for you and your stuffed animals or your family.  Maybe you can even have a real picnic or eat lunch or a snack outside!
