POTD



















For some context, this is a picture from the outside of the box:




















This is the Toldos Aharon Rebbe on Lag B'Omer in the special box made for him, due to his being a kohein, to be able to go to Meron and not worry about being exposed to tumah, after questions were raised about the area being replete with graves.

The pictures were taken from a couple different threads of the Bechadrei forums. If you want to read some of the great one-liners captioning the images, check out this thread (in Hebrew, sorry)...

  2. Oh yeah, sure.

    It's an ancient Jewish tradition to dance round a bonfire.

    Obviously the pagans stole it from us...

  3. i like the fact that, he couldn't be near the graves b/c of tuma, so the solution was to transport him in his very own casket!
