On Lag Baomer it is customary to: visit the grave of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, to light bonfires in his honor, and to have a field day in which children play with bows and arrows.

Lag BaOmer is celebrated on the thirty-third day of the Counting of the Omer (see Leviticus ch.23), which occurs on the 18th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar. Tradition states that a plague, which had taken the lives of many of Rabbi Akiva's disciples, ceased on this day. According to the Talmud and Midrash, Lag BaOmer also marks the anniversary of death of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a Sage and leading disciple of Rabbi Akiva in the 2nd century CE, and the day on which he revealed the deepest secrets of Kabbalah in the form of the Zohar, a landmark text of Jewish mysticism.
