Lag BaOmer is a time of celebration and anticipation. It is a time to go outside, and perhaps have a bonfire, while the ongoing counting of the omer heightens our excitement for the upcoming holiday of Shavuot. Lag BaOmer is traditionally associated with the figure of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and the story of his emergence from the cave, which holds extra resonance this year as the world slowly begins to reopen. However you mark the holiday, Sefaria has texts and resources for you to use or adapt for your classroom, community, or family:

“One asks about and teaches the halakhot of Passover thirty days before Passover.” The rabbis of the Talmud wisely recommended studying and preparing for Passover a month early. At Sefaria, we started even earlier so we could offer you and your students these resources for a fun pre-Passover learning process.

The Book of Genesis, or Bereshit (lit. “in the beginning”), takes us on a journey through the story of creation and introduces us to our ancestors along their path from the Garden of Eden to Egypt. And even though many of us know how the story ends, we continually reread it, finding new significance every time. To celebrate this next cycle, our engineers have developed a new way for you to experience and learn Torah on Sefaria. Chavruta on Sefaria is a built-in tool that allows you to video chat with your study partner while viewing the text, without ever leaving the virtual library.
