Estimated Int\'l duration around 14 ba-Omer is the 33rd day of the countingof the Omer, which starts on the second night ofPesach and ends on ShavuotThe counting of the Omer is a ritual that dates back to ancient times, when theHoly Templestood inJerusalem (see Shavuot). Throughouthistory, following the tragedies that befell the Jewish people during thisperiod, and particularly the death of 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva from aplague (in the 2nd century CE), these days have become days of nationalmourning, during which certain prohibitions apply, such as the prohibitionsagainst cutting one’s hair or holding weddings. On Lag ba-Omer these mourningcustoms are halted, as tradition states that on that day Rabbi Akiva’s studentsstopped dying. Another significant event that happened on this date is thedeath of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai (Rashbi), who was one of Rabbi Akiva’sstudents. Even so, the full origins of this holiday are unknown and are thesubject of many differences of opinion. Lag ba-Omer is also connected with thestory of the Bar Kochba Revolt, whose spiritual leader was Rabbi Akiva, andwhose military leader was Shimon ben Kosiba (bar Kochba). In the 2nd centuryCE, some of the Jewish population of Israelrevolted against the Roman regime. The revolt, although initially successful,was brutally quashed and wrought great destruction on the Jewish communities inIsrael.This was the last period of Jewish independence in the Landof Israel until theestablishment of the State of Israel in 1948. There is some conjecture that Lagba-Omer marks the temporary victory of Bar Kochba’s men over the Romans. Thetraditions of this holiday developed mostly during the modern period. TheZionist movement emphasized the struggle for national liberation in the BarKochba revolt and turned the revolt into a symbol of the struggle for freedom.Lag ba-Omer is not a holy rest day, so businesses are open as usual. Apart fromsome special prayers and a few customs observed by certain ethnic groups, Lagba-Omer is no different than any other day of the year. HOLIDAYCUSTOMSBonfires - Lag ba-Omer has become the bonfire holiday, perhaps in commemorationof the signal fires the rebels lit on the mountaintops to relay messages, andperhaps in memory of Rashbi. For weeks before Lag ba-Omer children gather anyscrap wood they can find, and on the eve of this holiday large bonfires are litand potatoes and onions (and now marshmallows, too) are roasted in the flames.Among secular Jews, the bonfires are the only custom that has remained from thetraditions of Lag ba-Omer. Bows and arrows - In the Diaspora, Jewish youngstersused to go out into the fields on Lag ba-Omer and shoot arrows, perhaps incommemoration of the Bar Kochba revolt; perhaps influenced by the surroundinggentiles. One can still find children here and there who play with bows andarrows on Lag ba-Omer, but this custom is slowly disappearing. Celebrations inhonor of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai (Rashbi) - This is a custom that developedamong the kabbalists ofSafed in the 16th century and has become a popularfolk celebration: on Lag ba-Omer thousands of people have adopted the custom ofmaking a pilgrimage to Rashbi’s tomb in the Galilee, lighting bonfires there inthe evening and picnicking throughout the following day. Many religious Jewsalso bring their three-year-old sons there on Lag ba-Omer for their firsthaircut. IMPORTANT INFORMATION If you are in the area, it is worth visitingRashbi’s tomb, to see how the various Jewish ethnic groups celebrate the sameholiday, which has become a tradition even though it is not based on ancientsources The JewishNational Fund (Hebrew: קרן קימת לישראל,Keren Kayemet LeYisrael) (abbreviated as JNF, and sometimes KKL) wasfounded in 1901 to buy and develop land in Ottoman Palestine (later BritishMandate for Palestine, and subsequently Israel and the Palestinian territories)for Jewish settlement. The JNF is a quasi-governmental, non-profitorganization. By 2007, it owned 13% of the total land in Israel.Since itsinception, the JNF has planted over 240 million trees in Israel.
