Lag B'Omer isn't the best known Jewish holiday. It celebrates, among other things, the day the secrets of the kabbalah were revealed way back in the second century. It's a joyful day for Chasidic Jews and Chabad Lubavitch of Riverdale pulled out all the strops to entertain the entire community with a picnic at Seton Park on May 7.
