Lag BaOmer of History

If we look at a list of Yovel years from the time of Ezra, we can see that the 33rd Yovel period is related to Kabbalah. Also, if we take the 6000 years and divide in to 50 parts of 120 years, we get a similar result.

33rd 120 Year Cycle - 3841-3960 (81-200CE)

  • This was the period in which the secrets of Torah were revealed by Rebbi Shimon Bar Yochai

33rd Yovel Cycle - 4992 - 5041 (1232-1281)

  • This was the period in which the secrets of Torah were published in the Zohar

Here it is in a spreadsheet.

  1. Not by chance, Moshe Rabbeinu was the humblest while being the greatest. Seeing that everything procedes in a plan, is key to making us humble even if we achieve. Who succeeds must know that it is only because of what HaShem gives. We are Avdei HaShem. We merely do our task, and if we succede in it, that is our merit and our reward. Have a very good Lag B'Omer, and may you merit to continue your good work.

  2. כתוב בקול התור שתורה זאת תהיה לנו כאורים ותומים וכשלחן ערוך עד הקץ האחרון ועד בכלל. תורה זאת היא אורו של משה רבינו, עליו השלום, המתגלגל ומתגלה בכל דור ודור. מטרתנו לגלות את אור זה לעולם

    ואנו תפילה שנזכה להשכיל בדרכי ה' ונדע כאור החמה את הדרך אשר נלך בה, ובזאת נהיה הכלים שבהם יחפוץ ה'
