Description

Rabbi Akiva's students died during Sefiras haOmer (the Counting of the Omer) because they did not show one another proper respect. Rabbi Akiva was a great and holy man. There is a beauty to going beyond the letter of the law, and to how the going beyond is connected to the holy day of Pesach Sheini (the Second Pesach). Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai teaches us how we should plumb the depths of Torah.
