Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai didn’t just appear—he arrived, against all odds, as a soul born of impossible tefillos and impossible beginnings. In this stirring Lag BaOmer teaching, Rav Shlomo Katz channels the fiery words of Rav Elimelech Biderman, uncovering how Rebbe Shimon’s birth was not just a moment in time but a statement from Heaven: Am Yisrael will never be dry wood.
From the shattered aftermath of Rebbe Akiva’s 24,000 talmidim to a single sapling watered by a righteous woman’s tears, this episode dives deep into the miracle of renewal. Because Lag BaOmer isn’t just a celebration. It’s a cry of defiance, a crown of hope, and the whisper that even when all seems lost, something holy is still being born.
