Question 2

When is Lag B'Omer 5786?

Accepted Answer

Lag B'Omer 5786 begins on May 5, 2026. Lag B'Omer is the 33rd day of the Omer count between Passover and Shavuot, celebrated on the 18th of Iyar. The Omer period is traditionally a time of semi-mourning, during which weddings, haircuts, and live music are avoided. Lag B'Omer breaks that mourning with joyous celebration. The day marks the yahrzeit (anniversary of passing) of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the great Talmudic sage and mystic credited with authoring the Zohar, the central text of Kabbalah. According to tradition, Rabbi Shimon revealed the deepest secrets of the Torah on this day and instructed his students to celebrate rather than mourn. In Israel, hundreds of thousands gather at his tomb on Mount Meron for bonfires, music, and dancing. Around the world, communities light bonfires, hold outdoor celebrations, and give three-year-old boys their first haircut (upsherin) in a festive ceremony.
