Machshava:

Lag BaOmer 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Lag B'omer Hilula

Description

Rebbi Akiva's uncontrollable joy on Lag Ba'Omer. Rebbi Akiva's shipwreck. The tzaddik (righteous person) who attempts to navigate the generation's ship in this world. The great loss, the stormy waters of Rebbi Akiva's life. What is the source of the great resilience of Jews who pull themselves up time and again after failure and great calamity. Surviving despite the waves of destruction that come upon a person during his life. All Jews, no matter what they have gone through, are called "Adam," and NOT behema (animal). Rebbi Shimon will wait forever at the shore of our stormy seas to rescue us.
