(JTA) â Long before COVID-19 arrived in Israel, devastating Israelâs Hasidic communities, the annual Lag bâOmer gathering at Mount Meron was a moment of release for Israelâs Orthodox Jews, a festive night marking the end of a religious period of mourning.
And this year, when that release was especially needed after a year of loss, it became yet another tragedy.
