Our anniversary is on Monday. We don't have a date by the Gregorian calendar, but on the Hebrew calendar it’s called Lag B'Omer, a night for bonfires. We had one on a hillside in Vermont 13 years ago. Some of you were there. I hope you're well! And thanks. https://t.co/c6yWWzRKAT

Today is Lag B’Omer, the Jewish holiday celebrated on the 33rd day of the counting of the #omer. This calendar from the #JewishMuseumCollection was made in the 18th century. Learn more about the holiday in this blog post from 2020: https://t.co/gaZ7IweLkA https://t.co/cQiWye0Las

@MyMzemo @ExtSpoxEU They are not celebrating anyone's death. They are celebrating the holiday of Lag B'Omer, which happens to be today. Stop lying.

Lag B’Omer will never be the same for me. The tragedy of 2 years ago was a traumatic experience for me. I can’t hear the songs without feeling it. I have no interest in ever going again or having anything to do with it. I wonder if anyone else feel the same.
