LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) - Congregation Sons of Abraham is hosting a public celebration of the Jewish holiday, Lag B omer. The event is at the Copeland Park Shelter featuring singing, dancing, food, and a bonfire.
The holiday is an equal distance between Passover and Shavout, or Feast of Weeks . Public celebrations of Lag B omer occur in other cities, however Rabbi Brian Serle hopes to start a new tradition. Now that we have this group of enthusiastic [rabbinical] students from Iowa, with their sound system and our park permit, we are joining together for this celebration. It is very unique and the first time for La Crosse, said Rabbi Serle.
