Description

Three lessons we should take from the celebration of Lag Baomer. 1. The survival of the Mesorah- Five talmidim remained and with those five, Rebbe Akiva continued the Mesorah of Torah Sheba'al Peh. (Based on the Pri Chadash.) 2. Heroic strength- Rebbe Akiva suffered an incredible tragedy, and yet he found the heroic strength to continue and rebuild the world of Torah. (Based on comments of Rav Povarsky shli"ta.) 3. The message of the bonfires- Olam Hazeh is compared to Choshech. Life is confusing. We need to allow the Light of the Torah to guide us in Olam Hazeh.
