In Honor of Lag B’Omer: Receiving & The Power of Kabbalah

Produced in honor of Lag B’Omer, this animated video (02:48) by Rabbi David Aaron describes the essence of Jewish mysticism through a personal anecdote that reflects the profound difference between giving and receiving. According to kabbalistic tradition, Lag B’Omer marks the anniversary of the death of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a Mishnaic sage credited with revealing the deepest secrets of Jewish mysticism to the world in the form of the Zohar. Rabbi David Aaron is the author of several Kabbalistic books and the founder of the Isralight Institute, an organization dedicated to empowering Jews to experience the relevance, wisdom, and joy of Jewish living.
