Young Russian-American Jewish families from the Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach communities joined together to celebrate Lag B’Omer – the 33rd Day of the Omer which is the Yahrzeit – Anniversary day of the passing of Rabi Shimon Bar Yochai – the author of the Zohar one of the most famous books of Kabbala.
It’s a custom to celebrate with an outdoor excursion and making fires symbolic of the holy fire that erupted over his casket on that fateful day of his passing.
Men, women and children enjoyed a most amazing Bar-B-Q, together with great company and celebration. There was singing and dancing around our bon-fire, where everyone had a chance to melt marshmallows.
