A joyous evening under the open sky — a proper bonfire, BBQ off the grill, s'mores, soul-stirring music, and a bounce house and games to keep the kids going until dark.
Lag BaOmer is the 33rd day of the Omer count between Passover and Shavuot — the day a devastating plague among Rabbi Akiva's students came to an end, and the day his student Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai passed away, asking that it be marked with joy rather than mourning. So it is: a day of bonfires, outdoor gatherings, music and unity, celebrated by Jewish communities the world over.
Read more about Lag BaOmerThe heart of the night. We gather around the fire as the sun goes down — the same fire lit in Jewish communities across the world on this night.
Steak, chicken, kebabs and all the sides, hot off the grill. Come hungry. S'mores over the fire once the flames settle.
Soul-stirring music around the fire — the kind of singing that goes late and pulls everyone in, whether or not you know the words.
A bounce house, games, and plenty of room to run. Built so parents can actually sit by the fire while the kids have their own night.
Sponsors are the reason this night happens — and why a family can come without the cost being a question.
