Lag BaOmer for dummies
| What does Lag B'Omer mean? |
Literally Lag B'Omer
means "33rd day of the Omer".
The word "lag"
in Hebrew consists of two letters:
lamed
and
gimel
.
The Gematria (numerical value) of these letters is 33. Omer
in Hebrew is “sheaf.”
The counting of days between the holidays of Passover and Shavuot is called Sefirat Haomer
. Lag BaOmer is the 33rd day of this countdown.
| Why is this day a holiday? |
On this day, significant events took place for the Jewish people.
First
.
The days of Sefirat Haomer
are known in our history as the days of the Almighty’s strict attitude towards His creations. These days they do not participate in dangerous activities: they refrain from dangerous travel, and are especially wary of adventurous undertakings.
These days, almost 2000 years ago, the tradition and culture of our people were under threat - a pestilence began among the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva, the cream of Jewish society. This pestilence ended at Lag B'Omer.
Second
. On this day, the great Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai (Rashbi for short), the author of the book “Zohar”, the main treatise of Kabbalah, died.
| Why is the day of death a day of fun? |
Before his death, Rabbi Shimon commanded his disciples to celebrate the day of his death as their wedding day.
The meaning of his words was this: “Sadness from death is sadness for oneself, for one’s loss, for the loss of the body of a loved one. I, having left the material framework, ascend to the highest spiritual level. Don’t limit yourself to the sensations of the material world, put the spiritual world in the foreground!”
These words correspond to the lifestyle of the sage. He devoted his entire life to Kabbalah, a science that studies the spiritual structures of the universe. Its main principle: the Almighty and His forces that fill the universe are the essence of the Universe, and the outer shell is just a puppet. Prefer the main thing to the secondary!
| How is this holiday celebrated? |
— In the Land of Israel, on the night of Lag B'Omer, it is customary to light bonfires in honor of Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai, and in the afternoon to go to Mount Miron in the Upper Galilee, where he is buried. Near the grave of Rabbi Shimon they pray, sing, dance and have fun.
“According to custom, on this day they eat sweet carob fruits, which served as the only food for Rabbi Shimon and his son, Rabbi Elazar, during their 13-year stay in a cave, where they hid from persecution by the Romans.
— According to another custom, on Lag B'Omer children compete in archery ( keshet
in Hebrew) - in memory of the fact that all the time that Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai lived, a rainbow never appeared in the sky (also
keshet
in Hebrew) - a sign of the restrained anger of the Almighty - since Rabbi Shimon's merits were so great that defended the whole world.
— Recently, on the initiative of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, R. Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the custom of organizing a children's parade on Lag B'Omer, followed by a large program of entertainment, spread throughout the world.
(Kitzur Shulchan Aruch)
| In Israel it is customary to visit the grave of Rabbi Shimon, but in the Diaspora? |
The Lubavitcher Rebbe said that just as the soul of the Prophet Eliyahu attends every Passover Seder held by Jews, so the soul of Rabbi Shimon goes at the head of every children's parade on Lag B'Omer.
For Rashbi, there is nothing more valuable than Jewish children walking with their heads held high, proud of their Jewishness.
| What is the reason for writing “ba-Omer” with a hyphen and “Rashbi” - with capital letters inside the word? |
A hyphen inside a word is intended to separate the prefix-conjunction from the noun. In Hebrew, conjunctions are written together with nouns.
"Rashbi" is a transliteration of a Hebrew anagram, in which RSHBI are letters, and "a" is a vowel, one of the small icons indicating vowel letters.
All these non-normative selections are made with one purpose - to remind Jews of the existence of the Jewish language, not knowing which means being inferior in one’s Jewishness.
