Description

The way Rebbi Shimon came into this world is how we can be lifted up in this world. Rebbi Shimon was born through his mother's tearful prayers. All seforim hakedoshim (holy books) are based on the teachings of Rebbi Shimon. Rebbi Shimon's teachings make us cry. Rebbi Shimon taught that all curses are blessings. Baal Shem Tov was born in a "trench" and elevated each Jew from their "trench". The light of the Baal Shem Tov and the koach (strength) of Reb Shimon can help each of us to climb out of the "cave" of fifth of Manhattan, TV, internet, to see the geulah sheleimah (the final redemption).
