The counting of the Omer is on each day between the Festival of Pesakh (“Passover”), the Return from Mitsrayim and the Festival of Shavuot (“Weeks”), the Giving of the Tora on the Mountain of Sinai.
Shavuot is the fiftieth day, comprising the forty-nine days in between - a sevensome of sevensomes.
Today, on the thirty-third Omer, is the Khilula חִלּוּלּה (memorial) of Rashbi - Rabi Shimon Ben Yokhai - a great teacher of Kabala (Tora spirituality).
It is a custom to light bonfires during the eve. Zal זַ״ל ! The memory of him be for a blessing!
