Looking forward to celebrating Lag B'omer with you on Tuesday.
Lag BaOmer marks the day of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai’s passing, when he asked his students to celebrate, not mourn.
He revealed deep Torah teachings on that day, filling the world with light..so we celebrate with joy, unity, and coming together as a community.

How can a teacher bring her students to speak only good things about one another?

Explain to them that the One who made heaven and earth loves each one of them deeply, as much as parents would love an only child born to them in their elder years, and infinitely more so.

And explain that if this loving Creator made us capable of seeing and hearing, obviously He must have the true seeing and the true hearing. He is aware of everything that is happening in His universe.

So that if you say pleasant things about another person, He certainly listens to every word said and watches to see how it is said.

And obviously, you would never imagine speaking badly about His beloved child in His presence. And His presence fills the entire universe.

The teacher must always remind the students, “Think, children, of what you are saying. There is an eye that sees and an ear that hears.”
