QUESTION: What is Lag
B'Omer" Occurring this year on
Thursday, May Sth)?
ANSWER: The period of time
that elapses between the Passover
and the Pentecost Holidays is a
period of forty-nine days. These
days are observed by ritualistic-
ally counting each day on the
evening before. They are days in
which marriages and any sort of
lmerrymaking is prohibited, re-
sembling, in this sense. somewhat
of a mourning period. The thirty
third day of this period is called
Lag Bonner" a term which
means the "thirty-third day of
the counting of the Omer) and
is observed as a "seni-holiday"
during which the restrictions that
are imposed for the entire period
are relaxed.
QUESTION: Why was this day
of Lag Bonner" made holiday:
ANSWER: A number of reaS-
ons are advanced for this. The
main theory connects it with the
reason for which the other sur
days are lays of semi
mourning. During this forry-nine
day period it is claimed that
thousand of Rabbi

ish independence in Palestine,
which occurred about the year
$50 C. E. It is claimed that either
the killing stopped on the thirty
third day or that the killing was
done Oh interspersed days which
numbered thirty-three in all. For
this reason, it is claimed that the
thirty-third day was established
as minor holiday, in anniversary
of the end of the slaughter.
Another reason advanced for
this festival is that Mamma, the
heavenly food that was given to
the Israelites in the desert, began
to appear on this day, giving
cause for rejoicing. Still another
reason is advanced for this festi-
val. The Kabbalists associate it
with the celebration of the
"death-anniversary' of Rabbi Sim
con ben Yochai, the reputed auth
or of "Zohar," the classic work
of the Mystics. It is claimed
that this sanity scholar rejoiced
when his day of death came, for
two reasons: Firstly, because
some had tried to put him to
death before his time and he per-
sisted in dying a natural death,
secondly. because of the Mystic
idea. that through his death har-
mony among the different worlds
in the universe was brought
about.
QUESTION: How is this fest
ival of Lag Bonner" observed:
ANSWER: There is really no
prescribed ritual for the observ-
ance of this day. Certain prayers
of mournful and penitential ma
ture are omitted in the syna-
gogue. Marriages are permitted
and all semblances of mourning
disappear. Children in the He
brew schools and in the seminary
have special programs on this
day. Nevertheless. the real fest
witty is to be noted in Palestine.
The Jews OF Sefad and the neigh
boring settlements gather on this
day near the village Merron.
where the Mystic scholar called
"Tanna." about whom to many
strange stories are related. is as
sunled to be buried. Special
hymns OF q kabbalistic character
are chanted and bonfires are
lighted in the neighborhood OF the
traditional grave. School children
prepare bows and arrows and
practice shooting with them.

Monroe Saves $957
I'm Purchase OF Z
Schools From FWA
WILLARD M. ALBURY'
DEDUCTS RENTALS
PAID FOR POINCIANA
SCHOOL

Monroe county and the tax
payers saved $957.6O in the pur-
chase by the Board of Public
Instruction from the Federal
Works Agency of the Federal
High School Annex and the
Poinciana School, Willard M. AL
bury, school superintendent, an
nounced today.
Albury has submitted a re-
vised offer in lieu of the one
forwarded August 8 offering the
Bureau of Community Facilities
of the FWA $30,939.49 for the
two projects here which cost a
total of 1882, 839.42..
The revised offer subtracted
the rental paid by the county to
S5,040 for Poinciana School over
a period of two years from the
62,835.42. That brought total
cost of both projects down to
$157, 799.42.
Albury then offered $29,981. 07
for both pieces of property, or 10
per cent of $157,799.42, which he
figured as the cost of the prof.
ects. less the two years rental.
A cash payment of 5 per cent
of S157,799.42, or $7,889.97, with
two notes each for $11,045.96 due
in 1913 and 1949. The original
bid for the projects carried a
cash payment of $8,l41.97 and
two notes, each for $11, 398.76.
In stating the Washington Of
flee of the FWA had indicated a
willingness to dispose of the
properties on the basis of AL
bury's revised proposition the
Bureau of Community Facilities
returned the original check for
for $8.l4l.97 and suggested that
a check for S7,889.97 be submit
