On Lag B’Omer we traditionally celebrate in lots of unique ways!
We will light bonfires like the Jewish rebels in ancient Israel, but we'll have s'mores! Like the rebels, you can get some bow-and-arrow practice in, too! Archery tag for kids and adults of all ages and smaller target for the littles. We don't traditionally have weddings between Passover and Shavuot, but since we're so happy on Lag b'Omer, it's an exception and many couples celebrate their weddings then. So we'll be offering a walk-up vow renewal wedding chapel! Come renew your wedding vows and get an "official" certificate and wedding photo at a renewal presided over by your very own Beth Yeshurun clergy! And there is no such thing as an event without food - so enjoy burgers and hot dogs on the grill.
