KABBALISTIC LAG B'OMER SEMINAR
Lag B'Omer
The 33rd day of the Omer (in Hebrew 33 is represented by the letters lamed = 30 and gimel = 3, pronounced as a word: 'lag') is a day of celebration for two reasons:
- The plague that afflicted the students of Rabbi Akiva - the foremost Torah scholars of their day - ceased (temporarily) and
- The anniversary of the death of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the original kabbalist upon whose teachings the Zohar is constructed.
To learn more about the Omer, try one of the articles in this list if Omer articles and visit the KabbalaOnline Lag B'Omer Art Gallery.
