On the night of Lag b’Omer, everyone gathered at DetroitWick, a Jewish-owned business located in Corktown that specializes in scent branding.

Lag b’Omer is a holiday with a variety of origin stories, most famously including the end of a plague and the death of a sage hundreds of years ago. One of the most common ways to observe the holiday is with the lighting of bonfires — and this year, Temple Beth El members and friends got to take the fire home with them! 

On the night of Lag b’Omer, everyone gathered at DetroitWick, a Jewish-owned business located in Corktown that specializes in scent branding. CEO Doug Schwartz led attendees through placing the wick, choosing a scent, pouring the wax and even decorating the jar with a custom Temple Beth El logo. 

Participants look forward to lighting their candles and hearkening back to a great holiday night in Detroit!
