Thoughts on Lag BaOmer (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz)

Rabbi Breitowitz – Shares about the two main reasons we celebrate Lag BaOmer: 1. The plague that killed 24,000 of Rabbi Akiva’s students stopped. 2. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai’s “celebrated yartzeit”. There are many different interpretations and versions that the Rabbi suggests during the video. One interested tidbit is the sefira that is said on Lag BaOmer when we count the omer on that day references Aaron HaKohen and his attribute of peace and how this ties into the ending of the plague of Rabbi Akiva’s students.
