May
Lag BaOmer is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the 33rd day of the Omer, a period between two major Jewish holidays. It usually falls in May. This day is special because it marks the end of a mournful time and remembers a great teacher named Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. People celebrate by having fun, lighting bonfires, and some even hold parades or go on picnics. In Israel, kids often play with bows and arrows. It's a joyful time for families to come together, enjoy the outdoors, and remember important stories from Jewish history.
