Editing Lag BaOmer Parade (section)

==The Parades in 770==
The parades have started already prior to the Rebbes leadership, as annual gatherings for children, which are regular participants of the activities of "Mesibos Shabbos". These parades had taken place only in the courtyard of 770 (in the 'Shalash'), and were intended to demonstrate Jewish strength, and thereby to strengthen the childrens feeling of connection to Jewish values. The Rebbe himself had participated in these parades and spoke before the children.

In the early years, parades had taken place on different occasions, and starting in 5716, they started taking place annually on Lag BaOmer on years which it fell out on Sunday, which is a day off in public schools.

These parades take place on Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights (Brooklyn), and over the years they became more of a larger gathering with the Rebbe, and they marched toward the park. They were organized by the administration of the National Committee for Furtherance of Jewish Education and Tzivos Hashem.
