Lag B'Omer

Two thousand years ago Rabbi Shimon ben Y’Choi author of the Zohar-Book of Secret passed away commanding his followers to celebrate this day since he was returning to the place from where his soul was hewn. The Zohar, the knowledge he transmitted to the earth a 1000 years later is unquestionably the highest knowledge known to the Jewish People.

Five hundred years ago the Cabala came along as key to the Zohar by explaining in intricate detail the workings of creation from the first moment of movement through myriad worlds culminating in the form of the human being upon planet earth. The celebration which still occurs throughout the world brings together all strata of Jewish People who sing and dance around fire throughout the night.

It is a sign that revelation of the essence will bring peace.
