Lag B’Omer celebrations around the country

Lag B’Omer parade shows strength of Johannesburg Jews

Youth group Tzivos Hashem, in partnership with Chabad House, hosted a Lag B’Omer parade on Sunday, 26 May, which brought together more than 3 000 people from all segments of the Johannesburg Jewish community.

Jewish schools and communal organisations built floats and took part in the grand parade along George Avenue in Sandringham. The parade showcased the unity and pride of the Johannesburg Jewish community, and that we’re strong and here to stay.

It was followed by a concert and fair, with a performance by international singer Yossi Rodal.
