Lag b'Omer

But the synagogue, where a celebration for the annual Lag b’Omer festival was held Tuesday night, has previously come under attack by Islamist militants, who have also targeted other Tunisian tourist sites.

Spiritual leader Nachum Dov Brayer leads the celebration marking the annual Lag B'Omer celebrations with ecstatic all-night dances and singing at the Meron mountain in northern Israel May 18, 2022, after a crowd crush killed 45 people a year ago.

Tens of thousands came April 30 to the hilltop site of Meron for the Lag B'Omer bonfire festival.

Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews thronged the Galilee hillside tomb of second-century sage Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai on April 30 for the annual Lag B'Omer festival that includes all-night prayer, mystical songs and dance.
