Recharge + Release: Lag B’Omer Celebration

Grab a seat around our virtual bonfire and take an evening to relax, recharge and celebrate Lag B’Omer with Ritualwell! The Omer is a time of intense spiritual reflection as we move through the wilderness of our souls to prepare for receiving our Torah at Sinai. Traditionally, the Omer is also a period of mourning for the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva who died during a plague (sound familiar?). Music is prohibited during this time, except on Lag B’Omer! Creating a musical oasis in the desert, we will feature the beautiful sounds of: Rabbis Annie Lewis and Yosef Goldman, rabbinical student Solomon Hoffman, and sacred sound practitioner Elana Bell. We will also lift our spirits with Laughter Torah/Yoga led by Shimon Darwick. Join us for a restorative and joyful event!

This event is part of Ritualwell’s annual Omer Fundraising Campaign with a goal of raising $18,000. A minimum of $36 is suggested to attend. We encourage those who are able to donate as generously as possible!

You may also buy tickets for our raffle here, for the option to win fabulous items donated by our community. Raffle winners will be announced at the event.

The first 100 people to register and donate will receive a Cider Spices Kit to make your own drink for the event. Register by April 15th to receive the kit.
