Bonfires, haircuts and weddings, what do all these things have in common? The Jewish holiday of Lag B'Omer.
Lag B’Omer marks the anniversary of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai’s death (approximately 120AD - 199 AD), the author of the Zohar and the teachings of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah.

Best way to celebrate today? Gather your friends around the bonfire!
