About this listen

Why do we light bonfires on Lag Ba’Omer? Why do children receive their first haircut at Rashbi’s kever? In this soul-stirring teaching, Rav Shlomo Katz unpacks the fiery legacy of Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai—whose final moments were surrounded by literal flames and eternal light. From the passion of Torah to the holiness of our first mitzvahs, this episode grounds minhag in halacha and warns us: honor the tzaddik, but direct your tefillos to the One beyond. The fire must burn, but only in truth.
