An annual pilgrimage turned deadly after tens of thousands packed the site of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai s tomb at Mount Meron in northern Israel. In the early hours of Friday morning, men and children caught in a passage outside the tomb fell and were crushed in a stampede. At least 44 died in what rescue workers called the worst civilian disaster in Israeli history. As Yaara Chaimovich visited Meron hours before it became the scene of a deadly stampede, she said she had been looking forward to showing her children the beauty of the holy site. It s like Woodstock, she said, comparing the Lag BaOmer holiday to the US rock festival. Someone says a prayer, and everyone responds.
