Lag Baomer
The Gift of Mysticism
Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai passed away on Lag B’Omer, and is buried in Meron.
Why is he so ‘famous’? What earned Rashbi this notoriety almost unique among his contemporaries?
In this class, we will discuss two ideas about the contributions of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.
The first deals with redemption from the guilt of sin, which can otherwise burden and weigh down one’s connection with Hashem.
Then, we will delve into the secretive world that Rabbi Shimon opened for us all through the Book of the Zohar, and reveal the ladder that leads to the higher worlds.
