Lag B'Omer Celebration at Chabad

Illini Chabad, 209 E Armory Ave, Champaign

 

This Monday evening and Tuesday is Lag B'omer.

 

Lag BaOmer, the 33rd day of the Omer count—this year, May 5, 2026—is a festive day on the Jewish calendar. It is celebrated with outings (on which children traditionally play with bows and arrows), bonfires, parades and other joyous events. Many visit the resting place (in Meron, northern Israel) of the great sage and mystic Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the anniversary of whose passing is on this day.

 

Come join us for a fun evening as we will celebrate with a Bonfire, S'more and celebration.
