"Life Threatening Danger at the Tombsite of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai"

"My dear grandson: I want to share with you an extraordinary episode that until now I've kept secret. But my end is near, so I want to pass it on to you, so that you can share it with future generations."

Why This Week? Clearly there is a connection to Meron (and Lag B'Omer), which falls towards the end of next week [so save it!], but the connection to this week and this month is also strong, as the Jewish month of IYAR as known as the "Month of Healing" (for several reasons).

Why This Week? Clearly there is a connection to Meron (and Lag B'Omer), which falls towards the end of next week [so save it!], but the connection to this week and this month is also strong, as the Jewish month of IYAR as known as the "Month of Healing" (for several reasons).
