Lag Ba’Omer, the 18th day of the month of Iyar, is the yahrtzeit of the holy Tanna Rabi Shimon bar Yochai. It is an auspicious time for salvation in the merit of Rabi Shimon’s Torah, which illuminated the world on this day. A dedicated Torah scholar will learn on Lag Ba’Omer the portion of Zohar (Idra Zuta) that describes what occurred on this day, including the events surrounding the passing of Rabi Shimon.
