Tonight is our anniversary. We don't have a date by the Gregorian calendar, but on the Hebrew calendar it is called Lag B'Omer, a night for bonfires. We had one on a hillside in Vermont 11 years ago. https://t.co/uCvBVyRopN
My heart is torn open.
As the festival of Lag B'Omer, a joyous celebration of unity & love of one's fellow Jew began in Israel earlier today, a tragic accident occurred.
Reports are still coming in, it seems evident that the worst has happened, and there are multiple deaths, R"L https://t.co/ZsUSh7XEy3
We really need to talk more about the Jewish holidays where we light bonfires or stay up all night and eat cheese. They're just so good and don't get enough screen time.

CDS Kindergarten is making bonfires for Lag B'Omer with rocks they collected outside, inspiring them to connect with tradition and nature. Wishing you Chag Sameach and a world filled with light, as these shining children fill our world with light every day! https://t.co/FIRBk1oelF
Happy Lag B'Omer! The 33rd day of counting the Omer. Today is Hod Sh'b Hod: Presence within Humility. Many celebrate this day with music and celebration.
Today I celebrate and appreciate the insights and perspectives of others.

#ChagSameach to all celebrating as the Jewish community observes Lag B’Omer beginning this evening — a holiday of resilience and strength.
Please, enjoy celebrations safely and with public health precautions!
