L and B: Lag L/BaOmer

Some call the holiday Lag Baomer. "Ba", in Hebrew, means "in". Lag Baomer signifies the 33rd day in the Omer Count.

Some call the holiday Lag LaOmer. "La", in Hebrew, means "to." It signifies that we are counting to the Omer (Barley) offering.

This is the only celebration in the greater Philadelphia area that is co-hosted by both Chabad and Sephardim and honors both traditions.
