Unlike previous years, this year we will not go out with the children to sing around the Lag Baomer bonfire • This will explain to them how you can celebrate with a mask too
The historical significance of Lag Ba'Omer celebrations is more relevant this year with the outbreak of the Corona virus. On this day, one of the biggest epidemics of Roman rule in Israel ended - the epidemic of plague, which manifested itself in respiratory problems and resulted in the death of 24,000 Rabbi Akiva students.
Sheri Yona, an ultra-Orthodox puppet artist, explains to children what Lag Lag Omer is different from previous years, and offers them what can be done instead of the traditional bonfire.
