Join the Circle for our first Lag B'Omer holiday event in years...possibly ever! (It's been so long that we've forgotten!)

This event's for all our South Sound
community members! Here we come!

What is Lag B'Omer?
Lag B'Omer marks the 33rd day of the Counting of the Omer, the seven week period between the second night of Passover and Shavuot. In traditional Judaism, the Omer are counted because God promised the freed Israelites that the Torah would be bestowed upon them 50 days following the Exodus. Over time, the Counting of the Omer transitioned from a period of anticipation into a period of mourning in traditional Judaism, due to its overlap with many tragedies in Jewish history, during which Lag B'Omer (33rd Omer) represented a joyous 24-hour reprieve from expected mourning practices.

FAQ: What distinguishes a traditional Lag B'Omer celebration from a secular humanist one?

If you've never observed a secular Lag B'Omer before, you're in for a treat: Pack your s'mores fixins and best kebab skewers, because we're hitting the great outdoors for singing, dancing and an old fashioned cookout over a communal bonfire!
