Photo Credit: Yossi Zeliger / Flash 90 One of the major topics in this week’s parsha, Parshas Emor, is the discussion about the various Jewish holidays (Parshas Emor, 23:1-44). As such, we will take the liberty of talking about a holiday of sorts which falls out this year (5781) on Thursday night – Friday, Erev Parshas Emor, which celebrates the Rashb”i (Rebbi Shimon bar Yochai. This day is known as Lag B’omer. It is also called “Hillula d’Rashb”i (the celebration of Rebbi Shimon bar Yochai) on account of Rebbi Shimon’s accomplishments and contributions to the Jewish people. The famous story about the Rashb”i (Rebbi Shimon bar Yochai) is found in Meseches Shabbos (chap. 2, “Bameh Madlikin”, pg. 33b). The Talmudic page number (33) is not arbitrary as it alludes to the 33rd day of the Omer on which we celebrate the life and contributions of Rebbi Shimon bar Yochai.
