Lag b’Omer (33rd day of the Omer) – a celebration of first haircuts for three-year-old boys at Ancient Shiloh!

What is the connection between Ancient Shiloh and this custom, you ask? When Shmuel turned three, his mother brought him to the Tabernacle in Shiloh, to be raised here by Eli the High Priest.

It was here that Samuel grew up and became a prophet and leader of Israel, led a revolution of spiritual mending, anointed Saul to be king, and after him, David.

The hair-cutting event at Ancient Shiloh is an opportunity to the unique experience and joy of the three-year-old boys and their parents.
