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.

Rav Yitzchak Breitowitz: What is the significance of being honest in business over keeping Shabbos or other Mitzvos?

Rabbi Breitowitz – In the first few seven minutes of this video, the Rabbi shares how important honesty is in business to being a religious Jew – so much so that our Sages say that is the very first question Hashem will ask us when we pass on. Why is this the first question, why is it so important, and how is it related to our life today? There are five additional questions we will also be asked – watch the video to hear what they are.
