Jewish Heritage: Lag BaOmer

It seems that Lag BaOmer is going to be awesome this year! 

On Sunday, May 14th, Chabad (together with a variety of Jewish organisations including Hashomer Hatzair) are organising a parade. The parade will start at 1 pm from Adenauer Platz and will proceed to Westfälischen Straße 85, where grill, performances and much more will be awaiting! 

Another wonderful event will take place from 2 pm in the Dernburgstraße 36, 14057 Berlin : a party by numerous synagogues together - with a bonfire, music and much more. 

Another Lag BaOmer celebration, in the Central Synagogue (Joachimstaler Str 13), on Sunday from 4 pm (details)
