Lag B' Omer Bonfire and Steak Dinner
Jewish Observance
Page 1
A MC member offered the use of his kosher home and yard for a Men only Lag B’ Omer event featuring fire pits, yard games, happy hour, a kosher steak dinner, teaching about Lag B’ Omer, followed by cigars and bourbon back outside at the fire pits after dinner.
Planning is relatively easy with the use of your synagogue’s kosher caterer. Otherwise, it is very feasible to plan the menu and do the cooking, there’s just a lot more work. We thought it was worth the extra cost to have a hassle-free event. Some members are tasked with bringing fire pits, some with yard games (including suction cup bows and arrows in honor of the festival tradition), and still others with procuring the hooch. Two of our most learned members are putting together the educational component, and there will be a guided Hearing Men’s Voices component with the absence of women at the dinner.
