The Lag Baoimer HADLUKEH is yesoid hayesoidois of Hasides. You know how many yeshies you can get there? Everyone must rush to Meron to chap yeshies for themselves, their mishpuches, gantz Klal Yisruel. It is kimat on the same level as Kerestir by Reb Shayale. Get on a bus and go, chap arein, how far is it anyway from Bays Shemesh to Meron? So what if you will be like a sardine for a while, you see Reb Mylich Biderman dancing and making a hadlukeh, you know how many yeshies you can get from Reb Mylech and Rebbe Shimon? So many that you can even skip your trip to Kerestir next year. HADLUKEH HADLUKEH HADLUKEH. YESHIES YESHIES YESHIES. And don't forget to Chai Rutel mashkeh, vichul hamarbeh haray za meshibuch, make Lag Baoimer like Peerim and Paysach sayder together.
Hadlukeh
This "yesoid hayesoidois" couldn't help the 45 innocent neshamois in Meron just two years ago!
I say go to the Kotel, where Hashem is waiting...don't abandon Him for some made up minhag!
What are you going to say next? That the Crown Heights Rebbuh is not Meshiach? That people shouldn't go to his crypt? That people shouldn't go to Uman? That Kerestir is not the place for yeshies? Chevreh, Anshay Shloymayni, stay away from this site and its dangerous ideas, you might be driven to think for a change.
Come on people need an exciting change of scenery
Better than NHL or NBA playoffs
You’re a riot 🤣
Are you a bar pligta of Reb Gamliel Rabinovitch who wrote that going to Meron is like aliyah liregel???
I'll burst another bubble for you. Rachel Imeinu isn't buried in Kever Rachel.
Who
I'm surprised that he said that, because that goes against the entire Tanach! Yerovam ben Navot tried that, he didn't allow his citizens to be Olaeh Regel instead he made his own Mikdash!
Klall Yisrael was ready to go to war against BneiGad and Bnei Reuvan when they mistakenly thought that the Mizbaach that Gad and Reuvein built was to replace the one in Shilo, that is in Chapter 22 in Yehoshua!
We have a Kotel, and that is the only place one goes to be Olaeh Regel, not Miron!
I believe Reb Gamliel says that in his sefer טיב מירון. I guess DIN is not a "Kabbalist", just a guy who tries to have some seichel, שכל הישר.
Really now?
Where is she buried?
I guess the avos aren't in Chevron either?
Please tell us where they are for real!
Yes she is. Ramban after making aliya writes she is. When in Spain he thought not but changed his mind when he visited Chevvron.
Kosel!? That's the outer wall
5:32
When was the last time you were in Meron, all the walls there are "outer walls"
מעולם לא זזה השכינה מכותל המערבי
Or neither
