Blessed are You, L-rd, who has commanded us concerning the counting of the sheaf. Today is Lag B'Omer, the thirty third day of the #Omer #Sheaf. Four weeks and five days. Read Psalm 78:40-55.
This morning in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem. Abusive graffiti deaths for Arabs and curses for Muhammad. This is how Israel is celebrating today. Lag B'Omer is a holiday that symbolizes the end of mourning. https://t.co/jfojovGaLu

Today is Lag B'Omer! It is tradition on this day to get a haircut, go for a hike, have a barbecue, and (this one is often forgotten but represents the ikar of the holiday) RESPECT ONE ANOTHER!

Today is Lag B'Omer, a folkloric Jewish holiday that celebrates two things: 1) the life of Shimon Bar Yochai, purported author of my namesake, the Zohar 2) the abatement of a plague that killed 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva. How do these two relate to one another?
