After Bostonians saw hours of rain in the morning and afternoon hours of Lag Ba’Omer, the clouds parted and shined its first rays on the 13th annual Shaloh House Lag BaOmer Extravaganza.
300 children crowded a park in Brighton, Massachusetts to enjoy the festivities in true Bar Yochai spirit while enjoying 3 different moon-bounces and obstacle courses, a variety of carnival style games, designing and flying Lag Ba’Omer kites, and of course a delicious BBQ.
After the activities, children gathered for a grand rally of Pesukim, songs, and stories followed by a unique exotic animal show. The show featured animals such as an alligator, lemur, fox, porcupine, ferret, and large Boa Constrictor snake.
The connection to Lag BaOmer? Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai teaches how to draw down lessons in Avodas Hashem down to the lowliest and exotic animals, explained Rabbi Ilan Meyers.
As Rabbi Meyers reminded participants of the ongoing excitement and fun at Gan Israel Boston Summer Camp which takes place at the Shaloh House.

The Rodkin’s and Meyers are the most amazing shluchim!!
It isnt because when they are also removed from areas that they cause danger thats part of the procedure.
In the Everglades – we saw an Indian doing alligator wrestling, and he pulled the alligator by the tail. He said that did not hurt the gator because the tail is very strong. Maybe taping the mouth causes tzar?
RABBI RABBI RODKIN bam pam bam bam pam..

How is it there?
The picture of the girl sitting on the alligator with its mouth taped shut – isn’t that tzar balei chayim?
