Kabbalists view Shabbat (the Sabbath) not as a day of rest, but of intense spiritual work and connection. From sunset Friday evening through Saturday night, the kabbalists revealed a system of prayers, songs, meals and reading a portion of the Torah that provide us with the Light and nourishment that cleanses our ego and helps us to manifest our potential.

To the kabbalists, the cosmic opening of Lag b’Omer marks a particularly significant spiritual event. On this day, the 33rd of the Omer, Rav Shimon bar Yochai, the author of the Zohar, chose to pass on from the physical realm. Rav Shimon picked this day because of its special energy, one that has the power to obliterate darkness with immense Light. In leaving the physical world on Lag b’Omer, Rav Shimon created a link to the spiritual realm, opening a window for us to access that powerful Light each and every year. We also connect to Rav Shimon’s soul, infusing us with his selfless, sharing energy while erasing any separation from the Light. This year, take advantage of Rav Shimon’s gift to us and prepare your vessel to draw the infinite blessings of Lag b’Omer. Join us for a profoundly fulfilling night of connection as we channel the powerful Light of Rav Shimon.
