Despite Lag BaOmer falling in the middle of the week, hundreds of Kharkov Jews were able to proudly parade down the busy main streets of Kharkov – Pushkinskaya and Sumskaya St.
Police were unsure whether they would be able to close the streets at 4pm on a busy Thursday afternoon – but assured the community that the parade would be able to march on the sidewalks.
When the police saw the crowd, the excitement of the children and the enthusiasm of the crowd – they quickly changed their minds and closed off the streets for traffic. Cars and buses stopped and pedestrians were amazed to watch the parade march by.
The Kindergarten, Talmud Torah Menachem, Or Avner school, Yeshiva Ktana, Machon, Academy and Stars students held up signs about the Rebbe’s mivtzoyim.
The rain at the end of the parade did not wash away the excitement and this will definately be a Lag Baomer to remember.
