Lag BaOmer is a Jewish holiday that is celebrated on the 18th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar. The holiday commemorates several significant events in Jewish history, including the end of a plague that killed thousands of students of Rabbi Akiva, a prominent Jewish scholar, and the yahrzeit (anniversary of death) of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a Talmudic sage who revealed many teachings of Kabbalah.
Lag BaOmer is celebrated with bonfires, picnics, and other outdoor activities, and is a joyous occasion that brings communities together to celebrate Jewish history and tradition.
