300 Unite for Lag BaOmer at Bris Avrohom in NJ

Over 300 people came together celebrate Lag Ba’omer at the Bris Avrohom Center in Hillside in honor of the great sage, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.

The event was a beautiful display of unity between the Hillside, Elizabeth and neighboring communities. A large bonfire was lit, a longstanding tradition of Lag Ba’omer.

Rabbi Avremy and Chaya Kanelsky organized the exciting event. The children then enjoyed a petting zoo, pony rides, archery, roasting marshmallows and other outdoor activities.

The participants all enjoyed a popcorn, cotton candy and a BBQ dinner. The event concluded with the children reciting the 12 pesukim and jovial dancing around the bonfire.
