A magical Zoom Lag B’Omer
“We had a magical and mystical Lag B’Omer this year,” says Rabbi Yossy Goldman of Sydenham Shul. Participants delved deeper into the insights of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, one of the heroes of Lag B’Omer, and were treated to the veiled mysteries and sleight of hand of Illusionist Ilan Smith. But the highlight was a live video link to the small mountain town of Meron in the Upper Galilee of Israel, the home of Rabbi Shimon’s ancient tomb.
