A Joyous Union Under the Stars: Yoni and Rivkah’s Lag B’Omer Wedding at Melbourne Pavilion
On the evening of May 15, 2025, the Melbourne Pavilion in Caulfield South transformed into a haven of light and love as Yoni and Rivkah celebrated their wedding on the sacred night of Lag B’Omer. This festive moment in the Jewish calendar, the 33rd day of the Counting of the Omer, marks the anniversary of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai’s passing and the end of a tragic plague—a perfect time for the couple to unite their lives, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
Rivkah, radiant in a white gown with intricate lace that shimmered in the firelight, stood beside Yoni, who wore a classic black suit and kippah, his nervous grin betraying his excitement. The chuppah, adorned with eucalyptus leaves and white roses, stood proudly in the courtyard, its canopy framing the couple against the twinkling stars. Around them, their loved ones formed a warm circle, their faces glowing with anticipation and the bonfire’s light.
