My heart is torn open. As the festival of Lag B'Omer, a joyous celebration of unity & love of one's fellow Jew began in Israel earlier today, a tragic accident occurred. Reports are still coming in, it seems evident that the worst has happened, and there are multiple deaths, R"L https://t.co/ZsUSh7XEy3

It’s Lag B’Omer - which also means it’s the anniversary of me going to the mikvah 🥰 Happy Jew birthday to me! 🥳

NOW: Settlers going wild in the garden of the El-Kurd family home in Sheikh Jarrah. This is how they "celebrate" Lag B'Omer: theft. Half of this home was stolen in 2009 and settlers are now trying to throw the family out to the street from the other half. #SaveShiekhJarrah https://t.co/Ld2j0tSJlL

Devastating news from Israel today as Jewish people celebrate Lag B’Omer. Such devastating loss. We are thinking of those who have lost family and friends at Mount Meron. We have you in our prayers and mourn together with you.

We'd like to wish the Jewish community a happy & safe Lag B'Omer. Lag B’Omer celebrations often include lighting of bonfires. However, these can get out of control & quickly spread, our advice is do not light bonfires during celebrations. More info⬇️ https://t.co/O7YCHCh8gd https://t.co/8Z7flEymPn
