Israel, Galilee, Mount Meron, first Haircut Ceremony to 3 year old boys at Mount Meron during the lag b'omer celebrations at mount Meron. Lag B'Omer is a day for bonfire celebrations. The most famous is held at the village of Meron, near the northern city of Safed. Shimon Bar Yochai is said to be buried there, and huge crowds gather at his tomb for this very happy celebration. Since the days preceding Lag B'Omer were traditionally considered days of mourning, and therefore haircutting and shaving were not permitted, Lag B'Omer became a time for youngsters of 3 years get their first haircut.
