10. Lag Ba'omer: Holiday of the Humble Ones

In this soul-gentle teaching from the Chortkover Rebbe, Rav Shlomo Katz reveals the hidden healing of Lag Ba’Omer: a fire that humbles instead of burns. Through stories of tzaddikim and the senses they sanctified, what they saw, what they heard, we learn how Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai continues to refine us. This is the holiday of the quiet-hearted, the broken-open, the ones who long to become small before something so much greater. From the hills of Meron to the depths of the soul, this is Lag Ba’Omer: the day of the humble ones.
