Sydney celebrated Lag Baomer with a great parade starting at Bondi Beach wending its way to Barracluff Park.
Over a thousand people followed the Royal Australian Navy Band as it marched along Campbell Parade which was temporarily closed off to traffic.
Event organiser Rabbi Elimelech Levy told J-Wire: “We started with speeches at the beach with many dignitaries in attendance including local federal MP Malcolm Turnbull and State MPs Gabrielle Upton, Ron Hoenig, Walt Secord, and Bruce Notley-Smith.”
