A word for Lag B'Omer
Thursday, May 26, 2005
On Lag Ba'Omer, about 5604 (1844), the Tzemach Tzedek (the third grand rabbi of Chabad hassidus) related this teaching of the Baal Shem Tov:
- "It is written, `For you (Israel) shall be a land of desire, says the L-rd of Hosts'. Just as the greatest scientists will never discover the limits of the enormous natural resources which the A-lmighty has sunk into the land ("everything came from the earth"), neither will anyone ever find the limits of the great treasures which lie within Israel - G-d's `Land of desire.'"
- "I want to make Israel yield the kind of produce which the A-lmighty's `land of desire' is capable of yielding.
The Baal Shem Tov concluded:
from HaYom Yom, from Day to Day, for the 17th day of Iyar, the 32nd day of the Omer.
