MORE than 1000 people, from small children to grandparents,joined the parade through Bondi to a Lag b’Omer carnival at Barracluff Park last Sunday.
The carnival included a petting zoo, arts and craft activities and food stalls. Member for Wentworth Malcolm Turnbull, Yeshiva Centre spiritual leader Rabbi Pinchus Feldman, NSW Jewish Board of Deputies president Robin Margo and Waverley councillor Yvonne Coburn all spoke before the parade.
Meanwhile, on Saturday night, Young Adult Chabad hosted a concert at the Yeshiva Centre, featuring Jerusalem-based singer Chaim Dovid. Dovid brought the audience to its feet with his hippy-style music.
Lag b’Omer commemorates the 33rd day of the Omer — the weeks between Pesach and Shavuot — and is considered a celebratory day honouring Rabbi Shimon Bar Kochba.
