A HUGE Lag b’Omer parade brightened up what was otherwise a grey Melbourne day last Sunday.
Hundreds of children and adults took part in the parade on motorbikes, on trucks, in open-topped cars and on foot. There were clowns, elephants, rabbis and politicians all taking part in celebrations for the 33rd day of the Omer — the weeks between Pesach and Shavuot.
The parade, organised by Chabad Youth, culminated in a family fun day at Princes Park in Caulfield South.
