Women's Lag Ba'Omer Class - Three Ways to Respond to Fear & Stress: Hagar, Yishmael, and Reb Akiva

The Untold Story of Global Terrorism: Are You the Bow or the Arrow?This powerful and life-changing women's Lag Baomer class, on why we shoot arrows on Lag Baomer, was presented on Tuesday, Lag Baomer, 5786, May 5, 2026. It is a most perplexing and fascinating storyโ€”Hagar and Yishmaelโ€”and it is read every Rosh Hashanah. Did you notice a very strange expression? As she walks away from her thirsty child, not to be with him at his moment of distress and not see his death, the Torah says, she sits down at a distance, โ€œa bowshot away.โ€ It is the only time such an expression is used in Tanach. What is it supposed to mean and symbolize? It could have just said, โ€œshe sat at a far distanceโ€?! And then a few verses later, we come back to the bow. Yishmael, her son, becomes an archer, โ€œthe master of the bow.โ€ Whatโ€™s the significance of this detail? He may have also taken on pickleball or yoga. Why is this important? There is a profound message here, and it will teach you about our world today more than any website, newspaper, or book in the world. It will also teach us our mission today during turbulent times. There are three ways to respond to tension, pressure, and anxiety. The Hagar away: You look away, or you run away. The Yishmael way: You become the master of tension, making the world panic as you smile. Today we want to discover a third way. This is the Jewish way, and itโ€™s the Jewish secret. We are the โ€œmasters of the arrow.โ€ The secret of the arrow is: The deeper the tension, the more you apply the pressure, the further it strikes, with more impact and intensity. We are the Divine arrows of history. The more tension we experience, our โ€œarrows,โ€ our force and light, soar and reach the greatest of distances with the deepest might and power. The story of Jacob, David, Joseph, Moses, and Estherโ€”captures the powerful secret of Jewish history. Reb Akiva taught us how to take the bow of Yishmael and transform it into transformative growth, becoming G-d's arrows to transform the world from darkness to light, from exile to redemption.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9917

Daily Emunah Podcast - Daily Emunah By Rabbi David Ashear

We cannot begin to imagine how great and powerful our tefillot are. It says in the Tanna D'Bei Eliyahu Zutah, Perek Vav, that Hashem told Moshe, "You will not be able to understand My ways, but I will tell you something about Me." When I see a person stand up to pray before Me, say words of praise, and then beg for helpโ€”even if that person does not have good deeds, and his parents do not have good deeds, and even his grandparents do not have good deedsโ€”just because he asked Me properly, I will help him. And if a person prays with true kavanah, the tefillah becomes infinitely greater. The Ya'avetz writes that a person must know how his tefillah can find favor in Hashem's eyes. The main focus should be on the Amidah. If a person says it with the simple meaning of the words in mind, it is more pleasing to Hashem than any type of korban. And the more a person's heart is in it, the more powerful the tefillah becomes. He writes further that tefillah with kavanah has the power to silence all of the prosecuting angels. The Shelah HaKadosh explains that having kavanah means not thinking about anything else while we are praying, and to feel happiness that we are connecting to Hashem as we speak to Him. When a person reaches that level, it is considered such a great avodah that it is beyond what we can even describe. And all of this is speaking about tefillah during regular times. A tefillah made during an et ratzonโ€”a special time of favorโ€”is even more powerful. A certain man once came to the holy Rabbi Moshe of Rozvodov, asking for a yeshuah for something he needed very badly. The Rabbi told him to come back on Lag B'omer, because then it would be an et ratzonโ€”a time of great favor before Hashemโ€”and it would be more fitting to receive salvation in the merit of the Tanna Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. He brought a hint from a pasuk: " ืœื‘ื™ ื•ื‘ืฉืจื™ ื™ืจื ื ื• ืืœ ื-ืœ ื—ื™ ." ืœื‘ื™ โ€”after thirty-two days, which brings us to the thirty-third day. ื•ื‘ืฉืจื™ โ€”stands for Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. ื™ืจื ื ื• โ€”referring to tefillah. ืืœ ื-ืœ ื—ื™ โ€”to the living Hashem. On this day, the Zohar writes, the heavenly gates are wide open. The Arizal teaches that on this day, judgments are sweetenedโ€”din turns into rachamim. It is a day of great divine favor. On this day, the lights in Shamayim begin to shine in preparation for the awesome day of Matan Torah. The Chatam Sofer says that on this day, the Jewish people began eating the mann, the heavenly food that elevated them and prepared them to receive the Torah. One of the reasons we light fires on this day is to show that the lights in Shamayim are beginning to shineโ€”seventeen days( ื˜ื•ื‘ ) before Matan Torah. In the Sefirot, Lag BaOmer is Hod she'b'Hod, which has a connection to the holiness of Yom Kippur. Throughout the generations, people have received great salvations on this day. Tefillah is always powerful, but on days of et ratzon, it is even more powerful. Let us take advantage of this special time and pray with more kavanah, understanding that Hashem is right in front of us, listening to every word. He can help us with any need that we have, and we do not need anyone but Him. Let us feel calm, knowing we are standing before the only One who can help us, and He is giving us His full attention, waiting for us to ask Him for all of our needs.

"Be an Expert in Falling โ€” A Lag BaOmer Shiur on Sefiras HaOmer, Reb Nachman & Reb Shimon"

Reb Nachman teaches that the yetzer hara is the "old, foolish king" who has thousands of years of practice waiting for our moments of inspiration โ€” and Hashem's answer is Sefiras HaOmer: forty-nine days of counting our victories, including the days we fell.In this shiur we walk through:How Hashem pulled Klal Yisrael out of Mitzrayim shelo k'seder โ€” straight from the 49th level of tumah to seeing the Eibershter at Krias Yam Suf โ€” on the strength of pure emunah in the tzaddik.Tonight's sefirah, Yesod sheb'Netzach: the foundation of everlasting victories. Netzach = gematria 148 = Nachman. "Nitzachti v'anatzayach."Why a fall day still counts as a sober day โ€” and what it means to be "an expert in climbing and an expert in falling."Reb Nosson's reading of Lag BaOmer: gal spelled backwards is lag. The Gal Ed between Yaakov and Lavan haRami is the wall we build after thirty-three days of victories โ€” the wall between us and the inner Lavan who whispers, "It's okay, it's okay."Reb Shimon bar Yochai's promise: pnimiyus haTorah will save Klal Yisrael. The mitzvos aren't six hundred and thirteen rules โ€” they are eitzos, six hundred and thirteen pieces of advice, the soul of the Torah.And Reb Shimon's gift: even if you didn't count a single day, start now. Seventeen days remain โ€” and tov = 17.A shiur about victories, falls, the mountain we build at Lag BaOmer, and the tzaddik who sees the pintele Yid in every Jew.#LagBaOmer #SefirasHaOmer #RebNachman #RebShimonBarYochai #Breslov #PnimiyusHaTorah

The other three are about the holy Ari โ€” Rabbi Yitzchak Luria โ€” and three moments in Tzfat and Meron that reveal how close the redemption always is, and who among us is truly not as simple as they appear.
