Throughout Diaspora and the Holy Land

A Call to Action

• We should arrange celebrations, parades and the like, for all Jews, wherever they are located within the Diaspora – and certainly within the Holy Land.

Invite Everyone, Ensure Tzeni'us

• Men, women and children should participate in these events – with separate arrangements obviously, for the sake of utmost modesty.

Fun Kids Activities

• This is all especially important regarding children. It has been the custom from ancient times on, to reduce schoolchildren's Torah study on Lag B'omer; instead, they take off half or a third of the day and go out to fields. There, the children are entertained with fun (and apparently) mundane activities, which serve as a catalyst for greater Torah study.

We should therefore strive to ensure that all Jewish people wherever they may be will increase in rejoicing on Lag B'omer; men, woman (separately and with complete modesty, of course) and children. (Night and Motzei Lag B'omer 5758; Hisvaaduyos p. 311)
