Lag Ba'omer: The Girl Was Being Violated; They said She Was Seeking Negative Attention

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Today's class is going to be about Lag Ba'omer. Of course, the day of the passing of the great Tanna known as the Tanna Eloki, the godly Tanna of Shimon bar Yochai, who was also the one who revealed Pnimius haTorah, the inner esoteric dimensions of Torah to the world through the Zohar. So, today's class is in loving memory of Bernie Marcus, Ben Zion ben Eli Melech Yosef, world-renowned founder of Home Depot, and a major extraordinary donor to Jewish causes, a great human being, a great Jew, a great philanthropist who dedicated his life to help so many who passed away on the 4th of Cheshvan 5785, November 4th, 20 24. Dedicated by Fred and Nancy Marcus. May his soul and his light and his love and his dedication always remain with you, and be a source of inspiration and empowerment and resilience to the family, the community, and all of our people. And thank you so much for your partnership. Tehei nishmaso tzerurah betzror haChaim. Truly an extraordinary human being. Today's class is also dedicated by the children and grandchildren of Zayde Mottel, Reb Mottel Kalmenson Reb Mordechai Leib ben Reb Yisrael Shimon, a true Chassid, a descendant of the Shpoler Zayde, who was dedicated to the spreading of Torah and mitzvos and Yiddishkeit with much ahavas Yisrael and mesiras nefesh, who just passed away. Tehei nishmaso tzerurah betzror haChaim. And I know when I once went to visit him and I saw that uh he spent much of the day listening to a lot of the watching a lot of the videos and classes. So, I'm very grateful, humbly grateful for that zchus and opportunity. And may his soul remain an eternal source of light and inspiration and love. Amen. Today's class is also dedicated by Menachem Abrams in loving memory of
