Why do we have a bonfire for when the students of R. Akiva died? The Pri Chadash teaches us that the real meaning of the Lag B'Omer is about the tenacity of R. Akiva and the future that he built after tragedy. For more content, visit https://www.rabbiefremgoldberg.org.

one happy light bomber but isn't really
happy it's always bothered me since I
was a kid what is log bomber about we're
all toxins were young Lag Ba'Omer is
when the students are ready he was
stopped on 24,000 students twenty-four
thousand funerals twenty four thousand
eulogies twenty five thousand shiva
calls and you make a party because
people stopped dying a bonfire music
barbecues a party happy you think what
the Jews were liberated from the camps
when we survive discrimination attempts
we said happy as if there was a party an
event what is like Barbara bow it's a
beautiful beautiful explanation by the
profession who says like vomit is not
about what ended the end of a plague the
end of death it's about where the Akiva
did next week even went to 24,000
funerals he should have been a hopeless
and helpless he should have given up he
should have given in but instead what he
do he picked up where he left off he
found his five surviving students he sat
them down on my bone there and he
continued the next lesson it's only
because he chose to do that his tenacity
is resiliency that we haven't told her
about that the only reason we have the
judaism as we know it today is because
really Akiva continued to burn like a
fire he refused to be extinguished or
put out
he continued to rage to the negative
beneficiaries it is a happy life bone
there it's happy when we realized we
have the strength and the power to
continue against all odds even when
we've gone through a difficult time we
are in a difficult time that nearly as
difficult as what Andy Kiba went through
but we need to know we will come out the
other side we will be stronger the fire
will rage or bright illuminate warm our
world it is the fuel of the energy that
drives us and so today is a happy life
but America that we continue to pick up
that the town where the Akiva left off
continue to study Torah to live Torah
and to make that fire rage and
illuminate the world from many years
happy life moment
