A Lag Ba’omer bonfire and celebration took place for the 28th year on Empire Boulevard in the backyard of the Horowitz family. Together, Rabbi Sholom Horowitz and Rabbi Nachman Twerskei held their annual ‘Hadlokoh’ of a Bonfire in honor of Reb Shimon Bar Yochai.

The tradition began in 1984 after the Rebbe spoke about the importance of such gathering, aimed at instilling Ruchaniyus and Chayus in the youth.
