Lag B'Omer : Sound and Image Lag B'Omer, the legendary yahrzeit of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, is like a Hasidic woodstock in the mountains of the Galilee. Bonfires, ecstatic dancing, heartbreaking prayers, food and drinks, Zohars for sale, endless music, and, above all, crowds. This photo essay contains some of Andy Alpern's photographs, as well as links to panoramas you can view if you have Quicktime on your computer (just move the mouse around the picture to pan) and AVIs from Shir Yaakov. It doesn't capture all the energy of Meron on Lag B'Omer, but it might give a taste of a taste of it.
