6 LIFE CHANGING LESSONS FROM RASHBI
Lag B'Omer Workshop

Rarely do we find -- especially among Jews -- a person who unites everyone. Rabbi Shimeon Bar Yochai -- whose yahrzeit we celebrate tonight on Lag B'Omer -- was such a man. He unites till this very day people of all backgrounds: Sephardim, Ashkenazim, Litvaks, Chassidim, Jews of all affiliations and no affiliations. (Witness the mass pilgrimage to his gravesite in Meron on Lag B'Omer). Interestingly, Rashbi also united all the dimensions of Torah and of life: the outer and the inner. What was unique about this great sage and mystic (the author of the Zohar) that brought about such integration? And one that lives on till this very day? Which other leader has an entire day dedicated to celebrating his life?

Please join Rabbi Jacobson in a special Lag B'Omer discussion on 6 major contributions and life changing lessons from the Rashbi, hinted to in the acronym of his name: Reveal Articulate Study Heal Bridge Intimate.
