Yisrael's thoughts on Lag B'Omer and Shavuos

Yisrael is very good at expressing his thoughts. He always comes home from Cheder and gives me the whole run down on what went on, including his 'insights'.

Here's a few:



Today, he came home and told me that he learned about Lag B'Omer. "Mommy, I want to go to Meron on Lag B'Omer" he said.

"You'll have to talk to Tatty about that, honey" I replied.

"But I want to go to Meron, Mommy! I want to talk to Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai!"

"Oh, Yisrael! Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai was niftar, so you can't talk to him!" I tried to explain (Yisrael is just starting to understand the concept of death)

"So I will talk to his neshama!"

Yoish! Is he destined to become a mekubal ?!?



Yesterday, Yisrael came home and told me, "Mommy, I want Shavuos to come SO FAST".

I asked him why, to which he replied "Because I want to get the Torah!"

I think he thinks we're REALLY going to get the Torah on Shavuos...I hate to dissappoint him. But I took it as a bit of a mussar- this little 4 year old is so excited for Kabbalas HaTorah when he doesn't even know what that really means... how much more excited WE should be!
