The gathering held each year on Mount Meron, that is in Galilee, takes place near Safed - the mystical city. The Lag b'Omer holiday is linked in Jewish tradition to the Bar Kokhba revolution against the Romans in the first century A.D.
Everyyear, multitude of ultra-Orthodox and traditional Jews make the pilgrimage to the mountain for festivities days.They normally light bonfires around the grave site of a second-century sage, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, anticipating and wishing that they will receive his blessings on the remembrance of his death. Critics have previously warned that the venue's patchy infrastructure cannot safely handle large crowds. The annual pilgrimage was held this year inspite of warnings from Israeli health officials that the gathering might escalate and increase the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
