Raised in the Holy Spirit: In recent days, rumors have been circulating that the Rebbe of Slonim has allegedly ordered Hasidic yeshiva students not to participate in this year's Lag B'Omer celebrations on the anniversary of the Rashbi in Meron, due to changes in transportation arrangements that prohibit the arrival of private vehicles and the operation of a shuttle system for private bus companies - which could cause congestion in the parking lots.

""There is and will be no order not to go to Meron," he says. The source added: "If a young man comes and asks the Rebbe, he will not tell him not to go, but he would prefer that the young man not go." But, as mentioned, no order came from above to the students of the Slonim yeshiva.
At the same time, in order to allow Hasidim to ascend to the Rashbi memorial on the day of Hilula without any problems, Hasidic activists reached an agreement with one of the transportation companies. According to the agreement, special buses - designated for Hasidic people - will reach the entrance to the mountain, near the 'Mehadrin Road', and thus Hasidic people will be able to reach Meron this year as well without violating the rules of modesty.
