Jewish Holidays

Many Jews visit the grave of Rashbi on Lag BaOmer, but the real point of this occasion is to attach oneself to this righteous sage through his teachings. The sages thus say, “We do not make gravestones for the righteous; their words are their memory.”

“May it be God’s will that just as we have merited the beginning of the redemption, so may we merit hearing the shofar blast of our righteous Messiah.” Thank God we have a state, but how shall we proceed from here to the complete redemption?
