This coming Sunday we celebrate Lag B'Omer, the 33rd day of the Omer count, which corresponds to the 18th day of Iyar. On this day we observe the passing of the great sage and mystic, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai also known as “Rashbi”.
Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai is known as the author of the Zohar – the source of Jewish Mysticism which sheds light onto all of Torah's teachings, revealing the esoteric soul of Torah. Therefore, in addition to celebrating Lag B'Omer in a joyous way as requested by the Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai prior to his passing, it is also an opportune time to increase or enhance your Torah Studies especially in areas of mystical and Kabbalistic teachings.
We have the perfect class which will enable you do so and I personally invite you to join our new Tanya class. The Tanya is the basic book of Chabad philosophy and a classic in terms of applied “intellectual Kabalah”. Encounter a spiritual dimension of Judaism with the study of the Tanya every Shabbat morning 8:45 am to 9:30 am. There's no better time than now to take advantage of this incredible class, free of charge – click here to sign up online – I look forward to having you join me for this weekly class.
I also take this opprotunity to remind you about our new biblical series on the book of Numbers entitled "Journeys" beginning on Sunday May 20 - click here to sign up for this fantastic 8-week course.
Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel
Lag B'omer
Please make note: This year we will not be holding our annual Lag B’Omer BBQ in light of the fact that two large parades will be taking place on the same day; the Israel Day Parade in Manhattan and the Grand Lag B’Omer Parade in Brooklyn. We encourage people to attend these parades with their families to show support and solidarity.
When Lag B'omer falls on a Sunday - only once in 4 years - the Brooklyn Lag B'Omer Parade arranged by Tzivos Hashem, can be done on a much grander scale - certainly an event not to miss! The kids will enjoy a show featuring world famous Ives Brothers Thrill Riders, a fabulous fair, petting zoo, marching bands, floats, renowned children's singer Chaim Fogelman, rides and a whole lot more! Bring the children for a day they will not forget! This event takes place outside 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn NY 11213 - click here for more information.
