Lag B'Omer Community Celebration

Tuesday, May 12th, 5-7 pm at Collins Park

Lag BaOmer -- this year, May 12, 2009 -- is a festive day on the Jewish calendar, celebrating the anniversary of the passing of the great sage and mystic Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, author of the Zohar. It also commemorates another event. In the weeks between Passover and Shavuot, a plague raged amongst the disciples of the great sage Rabbi Akiva. On Lag BaOmer the dying ceased.

There will be a delicious kosher BBQ, music, kite and frisbee making and our daughter Chaiki's 2nd birthday!
