Minister says next Lag B’Omer at Meron will be ‘entirely different’ from past
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleReligious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana says he has been tasked with overseeing Lag B’Omer celebrations at Mount Meron next year, following last year’s deadly crush that claimed the lives of 45 people, in Israel’s worst-ever peacetime disaster.
“The coming Meron event will be entirely different from events at the site up till now,” he tweets. “The security of those celebrating at the revelry will this time be above all else.”
The next Meron celebration is set to take place in May.
