A POINT TO PONDER – from the Rov This past week we marked Lag B’Omer, the day when the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva stopped dying of the plague. The Pri Chadash asks a very interesting question—why was that marked as a holiday? After all 24,000 had died—there was no one left to die?

A POINT TO PONDER – from the Rov We are presently in the season of sefira, where we mourn the death of the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva some 1900 years ago. Rabbi Akiva was the greatest sage of his time, and one of the greatest of all time. Thus, it is difficult to understand why his thousands of talmidim died? The rabbis tell us that 'lo nahagu kavod zeh bezeh', they did not treat each other with respect and therefore were condemned to die. Isn't this terribly puzzling? We all know that Rabbi Akiva's greatest emphasis was on the mitzvah of ve'ahavta lerayacha kamocha, love your fellowman as you love yourself. How is it possible that 24,000 of this great rabbi's talmidim all failed to get the message??? What happened? How could this be?
