Lag B’Omer Festival

A large bonfire blazing at night with embers and sparks flying into the dark sky.

Join the Hebrew School and congregation as we celebrate with archery, food, and fun. Lag BaOmer, the 33rd day of the Omer count—this year, May 5, 2026—is a festive day on the Jewish calendar that honors Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, author of the Zohar. It is celebrated with outings (on which children traditionally play with bows and arrows), bonfires, parades, and other joyous events.
