What we Mourn During the Omer

פרשת אחרי מות – י”ג בעומר / כ”ח בניסן תשפ”ב

During the Omer we lesson our happiness due to Rebbe Akiva’s dying. The Talmud gives the reason that they died was that they did not respect one another. This is to teach us to respect our fellow man even when we disagree with him.
