Happy Lag BaOmer

Today we celebrate Lag BaOmer!! Translated as the 33rd day of the counting of the Omer and falls right between the holidays of Passover and Shavuot.  It is a day that we all celebrate typically with BBQ's, Bonfires, Food and Games.  Jamie shares a bit about the history that has lead to this day and how it is celebrated in Israel and America in this post All About Lag BaOmer.
