If you were planning on going to Kafr Harsa tonight to "celebrate" the unknown yahrtzeit of Yehoshua and Calev, you should know that it has been canceled.
The army has decided that it is too difficult to secure considering the heightened tensions due to the security situation.
Chassidut Breslav, the prime people behind the push to Kever yehoshua, among other kivrei tzaddikim, expressed tremendous understanding for the situation. Considering the fact that they go, in normal situations, against the army's orders and sneak in to the various sites without protection, their words were an exemplary example of showing understanding and acceptance. Breslav organization Yesod Olam said "We understand and accept the decision of the security forces, and we will tell our people not to go."

ReplyDeleteSo, go on 26 Nissan. Many hold that's his yartzeit.
Others say it's actually 18 Iyyar {ie. Lag b'Omer}, but don't tell anyone. You'll just be called names.
;-}
why would people call someone names for saying the yahrtzeit is on lag b'omer?
ReplyDeleteIt would take away the focus from R' Shimon Bar Yohai, and from Meron.
ReplyDeletePlus, people are generally wary of minority opinions, unless they serve their needs, of course.
