  • On the 3rd birthday of an Orthodox Jewish boy he has his first ever hair cut in a ceremony called an Upsherin leaving his peyos (sideburns) to grow. Passing a mirror in his hallway this is the first moment he ever sees himself with short hair and a kippah on his head. A kippah is said to be ‘A blessing on the head’ and is perhaps the most instantly identifiable mark of a Jew. He will now begin to learn the Torah.

  • Women and children struggle to get vouchers for free kosher ice cream, the only kosher ice cream van in the UK visiting a community event in Allen Gardens, Stamford Hill to celebrate Lag B’Omer.

Jews celebrate it as the day when the plague that killed 24,000 people ended in the holy land (according to the Babylonian Talmud). Other sources say the plague was actually the Roman occupation and the 24,000 people died in the second Jewish – Roman war  (Bar Kokhba revolt of the first century).  Bonfires (used as signals in wartime) are symbolically lit to commemorate the holiday of Lag’B’Omer.

  • The field of stelae of the outdoor Holocaust Memorial, a reminder of Jewish persecution and anti-Semitism in Europe during the second world war. U.S. architect Peter Eisenman's controversial design was chosen as a fitting tribute to the Jews that died before and during World War II as part of Hitler's plan to exterminate them. Eisenman's design is quite unique and has drawn both praise and criticism. Occupying about 205,000 square feet (19,000 square meters) of space near the Brandenburg Gate and just a short distance from where the ruins of Hitler's bunker is buried, the Berlin Holocaust Memorial is made up of 2,711 gray stone slabs that bear no markings, such as names or dates. It is estimated that the Nazis used these camps to kill an estimated 11 million people.
