Lag BaOmer Parade in London

London, England — Lag Bomer in London rocked with over 2500 people (according to police estimation) attending the parade, the main high street in Stamford Hill was closed especially for the parade.

All spectrums of anglo Jewry were represented. Rabbi ND Dubov, shliach in London was the MC for the parade. Children from all over the UK and even as far as Holland said the Yud Beis Pesukim. The guest speaker was Rabbi MY Engel, shliach in California.

The Bochrim from the Lubavitch Yeshiva made the floats – one with the mivtzoyim and another for mivtza tefillin – 40 years. A man was so inspired by the float that he has agreed to don tefillin each day.

The parade marched down to Springfield Park, where a fun-fair, carnival and petting zoo were taking place.

The atmosphere was electric, there was a true feeling of achdus. The whole days program was organized by Rabbi Yossi Simon of Tzivos Hashem. It was an exciting day out for all the family with attractions and rides for all ages and sizes. Fun was had by all.
