A Year After Meron Tragedy on Lag BaOmer, Tears Will Mingle With Joyful Song Во всём происходящим вокруг нас очень легко потерять ориентиры. Единственный ответ этому - продолжить делать то, что уже начали, и взять на себя новые мицвот. В этом издании Шаббат Шалом предлагаются 3 новые мицвот в честь памяти Меира: 1. Мицва Центр, 2. Сефер Тора, 3. Проект Ликутей Сихот и Вечер Хаврута. Пусть Хашем поможет нам выполнить ту мицву, которая приведет Мошиаха! Rabbi Кarpilovsky, Alex Rodov, Yefim Khaikin

One year after 45 participants lost their lives in the midst of the traditional all-night Lag BaOmer religious celebration near the hallowed resting place of revered second-century sage Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai, hundreds of thousands of celebrants are expected to once again flock on Wednesday, May 18 to Meron in northern Israel, for the joyous holiday. New security and crowdcontrol measures are in place this year, and the celebration has been reshaped and reorganized to ensure safety. While memories of last year will be present in every element of the pilgrimage, special emphasis will be placed on celebration and rejoicing in G‑d’s everlasting kindness.

Hours before his passing in approximately 160 C.E., he informed his students that his soul was soon going to leave its body and celebrate together with its Maker. As such, he requested that instead of being saddened that his students mark the day with great joy and holy rejoicing. And it is with this example in mind that the celebrations will be held this year, a joyful tribute to those lost on this day. On Lag BaOmer eve last year, as thousands moved
As hundreds of thousands of celebrants are expected to once again flock on Wednesday, May 18 to Meron, Israel on Lag BaOmer, major construction work is taking place at the Tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai to ensure their safety following the tragedy one year ago that claimed 45 lives.
