Welcome to the Celebration of Rabbi Bar Yochai

Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life come to Meron each year the night of Lag B'Omer. What do they see and hear? What is the magic attraction that erects a giant tent city over Mount Meron each spring time?

We learn that a terrible plague that killed 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva ended on Lag B'Omer- the 33rd day of the Omer. We celebrate by singing and dancing, by learning Torah, giving charity and praying. Come celebrate with us together!

Welcome!
