Lag Ba'omer is one of the happiest days in the Jewish calendar. Celebrated 33 days after the beginning of Passover, on the 18th day of Iyar. The name of the holiday means "33rd day of the omer" - the omer being the counting of days between the second day of Passover to Shavuot.
The day is celebrated with outings, bonfires and other joyous events. Toront is having a big Lag Ba'omer celebration - for more information click here.

Health Tips from the Prosserman JCC |
The Prosserman JCC is the brand new JCC in mid-town Toronto. They have amazing facilities, including a fitness centre, a culinary arts studio, a new media studio and much more. The Prosserman JCC wants to help make Toronto Jews healthier and have provided us with a great article for your health:
3 Heart-Healthy Foods
Three things you should feed your heart every day.
Nuts -- eat at least a handful a day. Nuts are an excellent source of healthful fats and protein. In the Iowa Nurses Study and three other studies, an ounce a day cut the incidence of heart disease by 20 percent to 60 percent. The best nuts (those highest in omega-3 fatty acids) are walnuts, but all nuts are good for you.
Olive oil -- be sure it and other healthy fats (like those in nuts) make up about 25 percent of your daily calories. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats, which raise your HDL ("healthy") cholesterol. This good cholesterol actually helps clean out your arteries as it moves through your body. That's why when it comes to HDL, higher is better.
Flavonoids -- get 31 milligrams a day. What are flavonoids? Powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that occur in many plant foods, including -- yes, nuts -- plus tea (any kind), red wine, grapes, berries, cranberry juice, orange juice, onions, tomatoes, and tomato juice. You can get your daily dose by drinking two-and-a-half glasses of cranberry juice or several cups of tea.
