Do you also ask yourself "Why?" and there is no answer that truly comforts the broken heart?
On Lag BaOmer, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai whispers in our ears a shocking secret that has turned my life upside down: Your pain is not a mistake. It is not a punishment. It is not just a cruel incident. It is a blessing in disguise. A blessing so great that our small vessels cannot contain it - and therefore it manifests itself as darkness.
In a special lesson in honor of Lag BaOmer, Rabbi Yoav Akrish reveals the secret of Rashbi - why it is precisely in your broken place, in your deepest pain, that the greatest light in your life lies.
