In honor of the Lag B'Omer holiday, special activities were held at the Chamah Children’s Center in Russia. 

There was a clay therapy session where the children created bonfires out of clay. They learned about the story and history of this special day, which commemorates the end of a plague that afflicted Rabbi Akiva's students, and the passing of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a revered sage and mystic. Traditionally, Lag B'Omer is celebrated with bonfires, outdoor activities, and parades, commemorating Rabbi Yochai’s teaching and the celebration of Jewish unity. ■
