Description
What do drops of water, bonfires, and a mysterious cave in the hills of Israel have in common? In this Lag B’Omer episode of Little Lamplighters, we follow the fiery path of Rabbi Akiva, the heartbreaking loss of his students, and the mystical journey of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai—from fugitive to leader. Alongside our first-ever special guest (welcome, Sholom!), we explore the seven weeks of the Omer, the deep character traits we build along the way, and the light hidden within each of us. With stories of resilience, sacrifice, and leadership, this episode reminds us that fire doesn’t only burn—it transforms. So pull up close and discover how one spark of Torah can light up the world.
