"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).

tamid fire that burned continuously at the tombsite of Rabbi Shimon Bar
Yochai.
