Lag B’Omer is a Jewish holiday that occurs between Passover and Shavuot, and it is customary to listen to and play music, barbecue, play sports and have fun. For the first time in Seattle history, six Jewish day schools in the greater Seattle area celebrated together. The schools were: NYHS from Mercer Island (9-12), Jewish Day School from Bellevue (K-8) and Seattle’s MMSC Day School (K-8), Seattle Hebrew Academy (K-8), Seattle Jewish Community School (K-8) and Torah Day School/Derech Emunah (K-12).
