Chabad looks ahead to Lag B’omer

Fun is in the forecast for Lag B’Omer with Chabad’s annual festivities in the Andrew J. Parise Park (formerly Cedarhurst Park). On Thursday May 10, from 5:30-8:00 pm, celebrate the break from Omer restrictions as a community. But Lag B’Omer is more than an end of restrictions—it’s the beginning of a deeper period of spirituality and a day of rejoicing. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, author of the Zohar (source of mystical teachings) requested that this day be one of joy and celebration for years to come. And of course, it represents the final stretch of the countdown to receive the Torah on Shavuos.

Chabad brings out all the stops each year to bring everyone together for a day of unity. Archery, bonfire, races, bubble bonanza will all surely delight young and old. Meanwhile, they have added more attractions. The Aerialist Acrobats will amaze and delight audiences of all ages with their mind-boggling artistry and athleticism.  This show will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.
