Lag B’Omer Part -  A Holiday With No Reason

There is no source that Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai died on Lag B’Omer (Ben Ish Hi).  How the myth developed.  The Hatam Sofer actually opposed celebrating Lab B’Omer.  In fact, this day was a day of mourning and fasting.  Here’s the real reason that the students of Rabbi Akiva died.

Lag B’Omer Part 2:  Rabbi Shimon Was On the Lam
Hear the gemara’s explanation why Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai went into a cave.  It wasn’t to write the Zohar.  More evidence of the true cause of death of Rabbi Akiva’s students.  Why Jews started mourning during the counting of the omer.
