one happy light bomber but isn't really happy it's always bothered me since I was a kid what is log bomber about we're all toxins were young Lag Ba'Omer is when the students are ready he was stopped on 24,000 students twenty-four thousand funerals twenty four thousand eulogies twenty five thousand shiva calls and you make a party because people stopped dying a bonfire music barbecues a party happy you think what the Jews were liberated from the camps when we survive discrimination attempts we said happy as if there was a party an event what is like Barbara bow it's a beautiful beautiful explanation by the profession who says like vomit is not about what ended the end of a plague the end of death it's about where the Akiva did next week even went to 24,000 funerals he should have been a hopeless and helpless he should have given up he should have given in but instead what he do he picked up where he left off he found his five surviving students he sat them down on my bone there and he continued the next lesson it's only because he chose to do that his tenacity is resiliency that we haven't told her about that the only reason we have the judaism as we know it today is because really Akiva continued to burn like a fire he refused to be extinguished or put out he continued to rage to the negative beneficiaries it is a happy life bone there it's happy when we realized we have the strength and the power to continue against all odds even when we've gone through a difficult time we are in a difficult time that nearly as difficult as what Andy Kiba went through but we need to know we will come out the other side we will be stronger the fire will rage or bright illuminate warm our world it is the fuel of the energy that drives us and so today is a happy life but America that we continue to pick up that the town where the Akiva left off continue to study Torah to live Torah and to make that fire rage and illuminate the world from many years happy life moment
