Lag B’Omer: Kabbalah, Mystics, Bonfires and Music
On Lag B’Omer you can be a Kabbalist for a day.
Lag B’Omer is the largest pilgrimage holiday on the Jewish calendar today. Lag B’Omer helps us access levels of understanding and opens up the world of mysticism for every Jew.
But what does all of this have to do with hair cuts, bonfires, bows and arrows, Kabbalah, mystics, music, all night celebrations at Mount Meron in Israel? Join us tomorrow evening to find out why 🙂
The class is FREE, light refreshments served. 4/22 8 pm.
