As I watch the videos coming from Meron it’s hard not to get emotional thinking about what happened last year.
Can we share some inspiration about Lag B’Omer/ Meron/ R’ Shimon?
Why do we dance, what are we celebrating. I know R’ Shimon brought the light of the Zohar into the world, but looking for more details/something beyond that.

I was inspired watching the boyan rabbi lighting a candle for every person that passed last year and saying the name. The somber singing with zero music and the crowd of every type of person in one circle together

Specifically looking for something uplifting that has nothing to do with the tragedy. Some inspiration about what R’ Shimon brought to the world.

People struggling with infertility or only had girls and promised to name a son after Reb Shimon has made many zocha to children I actually know a few Shimon’s

A friend sent me this:

It's hard to believe
That it has been a year
Since the Meron tragedy
Oiy! The horror, the fear

Every walk of life
Was represented
Communal pain
Globally reverberated

45 souls departed
With Tefillos on their lips
Sh'ma Yisrael uttered
As they slipped

In their Zechus
You are invited to take part
In a free weekly email learning program
On service of the heart

"Tefillah for 45"
Is its name
Signing up is easy
Together, we'll ignite their flame

Each week you'll receive
A short Machshava on Tefillah
It will be a Zechus for
Aliyas Neshama

To sign up simply
Email: Tefillahfor45@gmail.com
May their precious memory
Forever live on
