An inspiring Lag BaOmer parade took place on the grounds of the Jewish Museum in Moscow and in neighboring educational institutions, with hundreds of children participating under the leadership of Rabbi Berel Lazar, Head Shliach and Chief Rabbi of Russia. Despite Lag BaOmer falling on a Friday this year, a dedicated group of Shluchim, led by Rabbi Eliyahu Dikshtein, initiated a special campaign to organize a large parade—an event typically held on Sunday. Their efforts paid off, drawing an overwhelming number of participants, so much so that organizers had to bring in extra chairs to accommodate everyone.
