Lag Ba'omer.
It is a horrible explaination of Lag Ba'omer. You should have written why Lag Ba'omer is celebrated and all that.

Sam, tell us.
So tell us why we celebrate this little known holiday.
Rabbi's explanation follows what I have read in Orthodox, Conservative and even Reform literature.

Lag B Omer falls on Hod sheba Hod do you suppose that the students dying stopped on that day as a message? For if iit represents humility of humility it would perhaps suggest that that is the helpful "tool" to achieve love thy neighbor as thyself.

Lag B'Omer
Why exactly is Lag B'Omer associated with bonfires? (is it in the Talmud or Zohar?)
