The name comes from the Hebrew letters lamed and gimel. The holiday also celebrates the great sage and mystic Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, author of Zohar, a foundational work of the Kabbala. Lag BaOmer is celebrated in different locations in different ways and may include bonfires, unity parades, picnics and barbecues, and other festivities.
