Lag BaOmer Celebrations in Israel
« on: May 11, 2012, 12:48:19 PM »
Celebration at the Kever of Rabbi Simon Bar Yochai, the one who the Zohar is attributed to...

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

those celebrations and bond fires cause(d) some people to go to the hospital for breathing problems.

.   ד  עֹזְבֵי תוֹרָה, יְהַלְלוּ רָשָׁע;    וְשֹׁמְרֵי תוֹרָה, יִתְגָּרוּ בָם
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.

ה  אַנְשֵׁי-רָע, לֹא-יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט;    וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה, יָבִינוּ כֹל.   
5 Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

Mechon Shilo and Mechon Mamre should organize teams of youth to run around to the bonfires and throw Zohars and the writings of Isaac Luria on the fire.

And they should throw Rambams sefers into the Bonfire like they used to do...

Dan, do some more learning before you make more of a fool of yourself... I just hope that someone comes around who can translate Chaims videos who at least has a Jewish neshamah and not some twisted Edomite vision of what Judaism is.

Actually it's the mystics who have more theologically in common with Edomites.  They want to throw out the original in exchange for a new pagan fantasy.

Oh yes, esteemed one... You are always right... Who did you learn Judaism from? Chutzpah!

You learn from witches who know nothing about Judaism... Go back to square one Dan.
