Finally he gets to enjoy the best of what the holiday offers--Torah stories, picnics, and a campfire with friends.An author’s note at the end explains the origins of Lag B’Omer. Amidst a period of mourning it is a day of joy, celebrating the values of Torah learning and perseverance in the face of obstacles.
