JNS.org - The tsunami of antisemitism over the past few weeks is the work of an axis of anti-Jewish evil.
Meron, in the Galil, was the settlement that Rabbi Shimon lived in 2,000 years ago. Soon after the State of Israel was founded, my father went there on Lag B’Omer and was overwhelmed and inspired by the atmosphere. And when I first went there in the late 1950s, I was too. It was a wonderful experience, of popular mystical joy, celebration, and unity. All groups and sects within traditional Judaism joined together and danced around huge bonfires of and in religious ecstasy. Today it has become the Bonfires of Vanities.
