Could someone please explain to me why we celebrate with music and parades and happiness on lag baomer?? I never got it! We’re celebrating because they stopped dying? Idk about you but I don’t celebrate even a week after a Shivah for someone who died! Not even a year after! And we’re celebrating right away!
I think of it as getting used to pesach and then we have culture shock and we can’t handle it that shavous is so far away that we make another holiday
May 15, 2014 1:20 pm at 1:20 pm #1015208👑RebYidd23ParticipantWe celebrate because we were told to.

You are presumably either human or an African Gray parrot, as both species are noted for their ability to use language to communicate. You may require some help in punctuation. That is the best explanation I can think of.

May 15, 2014 4:26 pm at 4:26 pm #1015213👑RebYidd23ParticipantThat doesn’t explain hanz kegl at all!
May 15, 2014 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm #1015214Shopping613 🌠ParticipantSo, if we shouldn’t dance when they stopped dying, we should dance while they are dying or while they are continuing to die?
May 15, 2014 4:32 pm at 4:32 pm #1015215👑RebYidd23ParticipantWhat is the difference between dying and “continuing to die”?
May 15, 2014 4:38 pm at 4:38 pm #1015216Shopping613 🌠ParticipantDid I ever say there was one?
May 15, 2014 4:39 pm at 4:39 pm #1015217A nony mouseParticipantrebyidd23 and HaLeivi are you talking to me?
May 15, 2014 4:46 pm at 4:46 pm #1015218Shopping613 🌠Participantof course they are, who else would they be writing to? The website?
May 15, 2014 5:46 pm at 5:46 pm #1015219A nony mouseParticipantI’d like a detailed answer on the purpose of lag baomer and what we are supposed to gain from it
May 15, 2014 6:36 pm at 6:36 pm #1015220R.T.ParticipantSome authorities are of the opinion that the students of Rabbi Akiva stopped dying on La”G Ba’Omer and after all the Levayas, Rabbi Akiva was able to “pick himself up” and find 5 new students to teach Torah and from which Torah continued in Israel.
Other authorities state that Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai revealed the mystical teachings of the Torah to his son and his students/Chevra on La”G Ba’Omer (and some say right immediately before leaving this world) and the mystical teachings represent a higher light of understanding the Torah, therefore one should be joyous at this occasion.
A somewhat less known event is that La”G Ba’Omer happens to also be the Yahrzeit of the Rem”a, great Ashkenazic Posek and author of the Darchei Moshe on the Tur and the Hagahos on The Shulchan Aruch (reflecting Ashkenazic practices) making the S.A. with his additions universally binding on all of Klal Yisrael.
