With music, dance and the traditional bonfire, Jews on the Lower East Side celebrated the festive holiday of Lag B’Omer last Thursday evening outside the Lutowisker Synagogue, at 262 Delancey St. The holiday celebrates the day on which Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai revealed the deepest mystical secrets of kabbalah in the Zohar (“Book of Splendor”). There were no reported Madonna sightings on Delancey last Thursday, however.
