Starting on the second night of Pesach till the holiday of Shavout, we count the Omer everyday for a total of seven weeks. The thirty third day of the counting is also known as Lag Ba'Omer. It is a special day of celebration and joy to commemorate the passing of the great Kabbalist Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohair, the author of the Zohar. There are many songs that were written in his honor and to remember him on this day. Some of these pizmonim are sung differently in the Shami and Halabi communities.
