“Torah opens our eyes to see endless wisdom in simple stories.”
-Chabad.org
Today is Lag BaOmer—the 33rd day of the Omer and the yahrtzeit of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.
Rabbi Shimon was a great sage who gave us the Zohar, the first book that explores the mystical side of the Torah. Through it, we’re given a glimpse into the soul of the Torah—the depth, the beauty, and the meaning behind even the simplest verses.
He taught us that there’s so much more beneath the surface. That the stories we grew up with hold endless layers of wisdom, if we just take the time to look a little deeper.
Please light Shabbat candles in memory of Chana bat Yehuda Leib and Hadassah bat Schneur Zalman
