BREAKING: Hillula Of Rabi Shimon to Take Place as Usual, Without Limits

Following feverish discussions in recent days, there will be no limits on the amount of people allowed at the Tziyun of Rashbi this Lag BaOmer, it was announced this Motzei Shabbos. 

Charedi MK’s had been in talks with government officials, some of whom sought to curtail the celebration to 15,000. 

Following a miraculous vaccination drive throughout Eretz Yisroel, the numbers of COVID infections has fallen drastically—thus, the idea of targeting the hillula, while allowing large secular gatherings, seemed to many discriminatory, and insensitive to the great importance of this holy pilgrimage 

An average years draws crowds of 100’s of thousands of people in the annual pilgrimage as they seek to connect to the great power of Rashbi to effect great yeshuos for them and all of Klal Yisroel.
