	Zoher
		The tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai, one of the most well-known and respected rabbis of the second century, is located on Mount Meron.
		Rabbi Shimon answered, 'They build steps to put whores on them, baths to cultivate their bodies, and bridges to force us to pay tolls.' Judah ben Guerim repeated their remarks which eventually came to the attention of the Roman authorities who decreed: 'Judah praises our works for which he will be recompensed.
		The principal figures are Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai, his son Eleazar, and ten companion-disciples, or havraya to whom the master submits his religious ideas.

	The Obligation of Talmud Torah
		Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai is understood to be saying that the obligation to learn Torah is so great that it overrides the importance of earning a living for oneself.
		Prior to receiving this message of rebuke from heaven Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai was of the opinion that it is forbidden for a man to engage in any other trade except for the learning of the Torah.
		Yohai answered and said, 'All that they made they made for themselves; they built market-places, to set harlots in them; baths, to rejuvenate themselves; bridges, to levy tolls for them.' Now, Judah the son of proselytes went and related their talk, which reached the government.

		Rav Shimon and his son escaped to a cave in Pekiin, where a fig tree and a well of water were miraculously created to provide their nourishment.
		Rav Shimon bar Yohai’s lesson of Lag B’omer when he left the cave for the second time is especially poignant and pregnant with meaning today.
		We must learn from Rav Shimon bar Yohai that the highest sanctity lies in entering an area of questionable status and working towards purifying it, in turning the “beginning of the sprouting of the redemption” into the complete redemption of a world of peace and harmony.

		Rebbi Shimon bar Yohai was among these rabbis and made a sarcastic remark about the Romans.
		News of this reached the authorities, and Rebbi Shimon bar Yohai was condemned to death.

	Torah MiTzion - פרשה ברשת -
		This is so despite the fact that the Gemara teaches that the plague that struck down the thousands of students of Rabbi Akiva - which is the reason for our mourning during this time - continued throughout the Omer period, from Pesach until Shavuot.
		The somewhat technical-sounding reason for this is that Lag Ba-Omer (literally, “the 33rd day of the Omer”) is the anniversary of R. Shimon bar Yohai’s death - an occasion that was adopted as a special, holy day in the middle of the Omer period, and which ends the mourning customs traditionally observed until that day.
		But the connection between Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai and the death of Rabbi Akiva’s disciples is not clear: why should it be this day that indicates the conclusion of our mourning for 24,000 Torah sages?

	Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai - Lag BaOmer at OU.ORG
		His teacher was one of the four great Sages who entered the "Pardes," the "Orchard" (not to be confused with the OU's Pardes Program); specifically, who probed the depths of Kabbalah, and came out mentally and spiritually whole.
		As a student of the spiritual leader of the revolt, bar Yochai was pursued relentlessly by the Romans.
		The first time Rabbi Shimon came out of the cave, he was completely "out of tune" with the people of his generation.

		Of interest to the affluent Sephardic elite of central and northern Spain was the writings of Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai, inheritor of the pre-kabbalistic prayer-writings of the sage Yohanan ben Zakkai (40-90 CE/AD) who composed sermons (1.) on the prophet Ezekiel's vision of the Chariot (Merkabah).
		He would claim to be a descendant of Shimon bar Yohai and the true inheritor of the wisdom of Yahweh.
		If Shimon bar Yohai did not exist, and was the only name he could give, he knew that it might not be a person, but a mythology for which he was the bridge and to which he would one day be linked.

		It does not mention any Sages and is not continuous with the parts of the Zohar before or after it (neither at the end of Zohar Teruma, nor according to the Krimona addition, where it is included in Parashat Bereshit).
		The Idra Rabba tells of congregating of 'the comrades' in which rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai begins by explaining parts of the Sifera de-Zniuta and each 'comrade' responds in tern, together explaining the secrete of the God-Head using the imagery of the human body.
		Rabbi Shimon speaks at length, mainly summarizing the ideas expressed in the Idra Rabba, and he passes away in a state of elated spirit while speaking the word 'life'.

	Lag b'Omer Ecstacy and the Story of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai Rashbi
		Bonfires are lit and ecstatic dancing and mystical studies are undertaken in honor of the memory of the luminary of Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai, known by the acronym Rashbi.
		Rabbi Shimon was so unaccustomed to the real world and the ideas of Jews who were not occupied in Torah study the he vaporized the Jewish farmers with his gaze.
		And also sand and mud and darkness, cut off from the activities of daily living, Rabbi Shimon and his son are like babies in a womb, and regress in their studies without light of day and the demands of daily living, like grounding in the holy work of farming and food production.

	The "Discovery" of Kabbalah by Moses De Leon
		It is a matter of controversy if the Zohar is his own work, or that he committed traditions going back to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in writing.
		He claimed to discover the text of the Zohar (in a vision?) and attributed it to the 2nd century Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai who is the main character of the text.
		Shimon son of Yohai, Simon son of Yohai), was a famous rabbi in the area of what is today Israel during the Roman period, after the destruction of the Second Temple.

	Parsha
		All this was revealed to us by Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai: the extent to which each misvah has an effect, its power, the force it generates and far-reaching ramifications it yields.
		Rabbi Shimon answered, "I would have preferred that the salvation come through the work of an angel, but let the miracle come in any way it can." He sent the demon, who entered the Caesar's daughter.
		Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai had it announced in the royal palace that two Sages came from Eress Yisrael and were prepared to try to cure the emperor's daughter.

		The reason is that he was saved from the decree of the evil Caesar who planned to kill him, and he died instead a natural death after having merited to reveal the secrets of the Torah through the writing of the Zohar HaKadosh.
		Others, however, believe that Lag Ba'omer is not the anniversary of the death of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, and the joy observed is in commemoration of the fact that on this day Rabbi Akiva began teaching his final five students, including Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, who received semicha from Rabbi Akiva.
		Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai revealed the inner concepts of the Torah and, similarly, demanded the internal service of Hashem, that prayer emanate from one's heart and Torah be studied with the proper intention and motivation: "Torah without love and reverence does not soar upwards."

		Now we are ready to return to the difference of opinion between Rav Shimon Bar Yohai regarding the situation at the time of redemption, when Israel lives by the Divine commandments.
		But according to Rav Shimon bar Yochai, we will effectuate the change in ourselves because we - and the entire universe along with us - will return to our original nature and roots, will express the original purpose of our being.
		Nachmanides prefers the interpretation of Rav Shimon Bar Yohai, because therein lies the essence of our nature, the purpose of creation and the true meaning of freedom.

		Today we primarily celebrate the anniversary of the passing of Rabi Shimon bar Yohai, his hilulah – the public thanksgiving celebrations on the anniversary of his death.
		The Hida (Rav Hayyim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) writes that on Lag ba-Omer it was customary to hold a hilulah in commemoration of Rabi Shimon bar Yohai, yet then the Hida retracts this statement.
		One of the Lithuanian sages, the ‘Shem Aryeh’ offers a reason that the Hassidim would certainly not like – we celebrate this day because Rabi Shimon bar Yohai was able to die a natural death, and had managed to avoid the evil clutches of the Romans who pursued him desiring to execute him.
