In this class given in 2021, Rabbi Shlomo explores why there is sadness mixed in to Sefirat HaOmer, a time which should be purely festive. The class delves into the story of Rabbi Akiva, some of the mystical roots of Akiva and his students, and what are some lessons that we should apply to our own lives during this time of year.
