Baltimore, MD – May 29, 2016 - On Wednesday night, Lag BaOmer, there were many annual Hadlakah ceremonies throughout the community.
Khal Chassidim D’Baltimore had a record crowd turn out, as over 200 participants braved the late hour. The children were treated to marshmallows and hot dogs while each adult was honored with pouring shemen zayis on the madura. Each Kollel Yungerman dedicated himself to learn a certain amount of hours "retzufos," while Nachman Bergman and Ben Tzion Bluming brought the music of Meron to Baltimore.

At Machzikei Torah, on the corner of Biltmore and West Strathmore, with Yehuda Mond One-Man Band you had almost as close as you can get to a Meron-style Lag Ba''omer - in addition to a real chassidishe oil bonfire, Yehuda played the old classic Horahs. These haunting classic tunes which have been covered by clarinetists and bands throughout the decades offered a unique Lag BaOmer experience.

As usual, Rabbi Goldberger’s Tiferes Yisrael was ablaze with chassidshe warmth and a spiritual kavanah while dancing and singing popular Lag BaOmer niggunim.

Suburban Orthodox Congregation had their band and singers electrifying the crowd in the parking lot in the back of the shul.
