Shuvu Banim and Nechamat Tzion Institutions invite the whole Jewish people to take part in the Hilulah celebration of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai on Lag B’Omer with our Rebbe Rav Eliezer Berland shlit”a

The bonfire lighting event on Har Meron will take place in area 89 – the community areas close to the Meron intersection.  The event will begin at 2 am at night, with the bonfire lighting in honor of Rashbi, singing, dancing, and Chalaka celebrations for children.  The Shacharit prayer will be at dawn.

Below are all the details for the trip to Meron:

In accordance with the guidelines for Meron Lag B’Omer 5783, every traveler to Meron is required to purchase a ticket in advance which will serve as a travel ticket.  The sale of tickets, which began last Thursday, 6 Iyar, is through telephone number *2111 or through the central registration site here.  Take note that also those travelling in a private car by way of the Elifelet car park need to purchase tickets as well.
