Mt. Meron, Upper  Galilee, Israel

In this photograph, which also has been called Night at Meron or Lag B'Omer on the Tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, a man sleeps atop a small building, waiting for the night to pass and the moon to wane. In a surreal way, time seems to stand still, and yet it marks Lag B'Omer, the thirty-third day of the counting of the omer, which begins on the second day of Passover and continues until Shavuot. The photograph documents the major celebration held in Meron, in Upper Galilee, believed to be spot where Bar Yohai, the second-century rabbinic scholar and mystic whom kabbalists consider to be the author of the Zohar, is buried. The man on top of the roof is one of thousands of Hasidim and kabbalists who gather to celebrate, sing, and dance. It is not unusual for Jewish pilgrims to travel to Meron and other burial sites to prostrate themselves on the tombs of holy people, where they beseech the deceased to intercede with God on their behalf.
