Over 1,000 people joined together at Beis Menachem – Park Lane in Manchester, UK for a Lag B’omer unity rally on Sunday.
The event included the recitation of the 12 Torah passages led by children representing each of the local schools, a spectacular BMX stunt show, two tickets to Alton towers and a ride in a stretch limousine at the Lag B’omer Parade were raffled off.
The participants then set off in a parade of Jewish pride with four colourful floats displaying Jewish themes, a marching band, a stretch limo, tens of clowns and lively music. The children marched holding banners with Jewish themes and wearing their special Lag B’omer hats which they had made in school for the parade.
The parade ended at Clowes Park where over 2,500 people enjoyed a free funfair and carnival for the rest of the day.
An iPod Touch was raffled off, won by Benjamin Nesbitt from King David School.
The entire event was sponsored and coordinated by L’chaim – Chabad, a division of Yeshivas Lubavitch Manchester.
A Lag B’omer Family barbeque was also held, with over 180 people participating in the event hosted by Anthony and Chana Haber.
With the weather remaining dry and a big grill on the go there was plenty of hot food to go around and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
A children’s corner including badge making, jumping castle and a fabulous juggling show, while the adults socialized and enjoyed each others’ company.
The evening closed with an inspirational kumzitz led by Rabbi Yossi Chazan and Chazan Zevi Newman.
Rabbi Levi Cohen of L’chaim-JLI commented, “The BBQ was very much in the theme of Lag B’omer, a day when we bring our Judaism ‘out into the fields’ showing that it is fun and relevant to every aspect of our lives.”
The barbeque was organized by the L’chaim Jewish Learning Institute – a division of Yeshivas Lubavitch Manchester in conjunction with the Holy Law Synagogue.
