Lag BaOmer is represented by the sfirah of Hod shebi'Hod. R' Gedaliah Schorr tz"l says that Hod is connected to the middah of Yirah. Therefore, as the Chiddushei HaRim says, Lag BaOmer is a symbol of Yirat Hashem. Hod also represents the deeper understanding (of Torah) which creates majesty. I believe there is a deep connection between the Yirat Hashem, especially Yirat Haromemut, and the understanding of the majesty and splendor of Torah. Today as Lag BaOmer is a day of great insight and revelation to the depths of the Torah. R' Shimon bar Yochai completed the Zohar which gave great, Kabbalistic, penetration of Torah knowledge. He was a source of greatness, having been a talmid of the great R' Akiva, the great teacher of Torah she'baal Peh. We should really think about the great depths of wisdom and emesdic yesods which make up our Torah, it is really unbelievable.Monday, May 19, 2008
