May 26, 2016 will it be sunshine
Good morning everyone. My name is Blanche.
I'm at work but want to begin my first blog. Will it be sunshine or will it be gloomy. I hope to hear from people who they spend their day. Are you at work, are you just getting up from a wonderful sleep. Are you getting your breaky ready and selecting a good fiction read to begin or continue with.
Today actually last night began Lag Ba'Omer. Let's embrace it. You can celebrate at a park with a bon fire or in your backyard.
In case you aren't familiar with this holiday I will enlighten you. Lag BaOmer (Hebrew: ל״ג בעומר), also Lag B'Omer, is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the 33rd day of the Counting of the Omer, which occurs on the 18th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar.
This day marks the hillula (celebration, interpreted by some as anniversary of death) of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a Mishnaic sage and leading disciple of Rabbi Akiva in the 2nd century, and the day on which he revealed the deepest secrets of kabbalah in the form of the Zohar (Book of Splendor), a landmark text of Jewish mysticism. This association has spawned several well-known customs and practices on Lag BaOmer, including the lighting of bonfires, pilgrimages to the tomb of Bar Yochai in the northern Israeli town of Meron, and various customs at the tomb itself.
Have a great day and looking forward to hearing from you.
Keep on smiling :-)
