Lag B’Omer
Thursday, May 10th
Lag B’Omer (Hebrew: ל״ג בעומר), is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the thirty-third day of the Counting of the Omer between Passover and Shavuot. This day marks the hillula (anniversary of death) of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai; the author of the Zohar, the chief work of Kabbalah. For almost five weeks we’ve been in a period of mourning and reflection. Now it’s time to unlock the mystical secrets of the day and have some fun.

Shavuot
Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire Israelite nation assembled at Mount Sinai.
For more info about the holiday and its customs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavuot
Two customs are to stay up late to learn Torah, and to eat dairy.
We also listen to the Ten Commandments at services during the day.
Come join us May 26th and have some fun. Pull an all-nighter and go crazy with the desserts. Need a refresher in the Ten Commandments? Hear it here. Got a question? We’ve got an answer.
