  • An Orthodox Jewish man with the help of a pupil, from the Bobov School, light a torch. The torch will be used to set alight the Lag B’Omer bonfire in the school playground.  Lag B’Omer is the holiday celebrating the thirty-third day of the (counting of the) 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.
