Members of Kibbutz Ramat Yochanan perform a dance on a stage in a wheat field as they celebrate the Omer holiday, in northern Israel, on March 31, 2018. The Omer holiday is a tradition that was started by Ramat Yochanan since the foundation of the kibbutz. The tradition celebrates the beginning of the harvest season, the Omer period between Passover and Shavuot Jewish holidays. Kibbutz Ramat Yochanan was founded in 1932, in the Zvulon Regional Council.
