World’s First Lag Ba’omer Celebration a Success

Lag Ba’omer at the Sydney Yeshiva Centre – Chabad NSW HQ this year was a wonderful experience. Live Music accompanied by the voice of Cantor Yehoshua Niasoff filled the air as the first logs of the bonfire began to catch fire. People came from all around Sydney to participate in this family-themed event, this year’s first Lag Ba’omer celebration in the world.
