No I am not talking about the Winograd report, it's Lag Ba'omer. The holiday where you can't listen to music, get married, shave your face from Passover until yesterday! Oh yeah, you can light bonfires everywhere on the night of Lag Ba'Omer! Okay, maybe I
am just going too far on making it sound weird. It was probably the fact that I actually listened to the entire song "Wild Thing" by Tone Loc on my Ipod with out hitting skip... please don't tell anyone about it. Let's just move on.Lag Ba'omer is actually another nice holiday. My Dad used to organize all the Israeli's in Dallas for a family picnic. 50 people would be a small crowd. If you want to know about this holiday or other things Jewish, I recommend checking out Jacob Richman's website. Don't know him, but he has lots of great links. http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/jewish.htm
A few more interesting things about Lag Ba'omer.
1) when searching Jerusalem Anglo user group on yahoo for fun events on Lag Ba'omer - Janglo, watch out for the Muslim matrimony advertising (at the top).
People get married on Lag Ba'omer - ususually Jewish!2) Per the advice of our friend Hanni, don't leave laundry on the clothes line - it will smell like fire!
3) Lastly, breathe lightly during and after the holiday - even the climate is effected (not a global warming friendly holiday).
