Thousands of people are already in Meron on Monday Erev Lag B’Omer and tens of thousands are making their way to the site from all over Eretz Yisrael, as Jews prepare to celebrate Lag B’Omer two years after the tragic Meron disaster. Unlike last year, when the Boyaner Rebbe was the only one permitted to carry out a hadlakah, this year, the new outline implemented by Jerusalem Minister Meir Porush and project manager Yossi Deitsch allows for 30 hadlakos over Lag B’Omer in the new expanded Hillula Complex (Complex 89). Like every year, the Hillulas HaRashbi will begin at 8:30 p.m. with the hadlakah of the Boyaner Rebbe, the only one who is permitted to hold an hadlakah on the roof of the tizon, in accordance with the recommendations of the state commission of inquiry into the Meron disaster. This year, the number of people allowed at the site at one time is about 50,000, more than double the amount allowed last year thanks to the expansion of the site. Visitors will be allowed to stay on Har Meron for up to five hours. NEWER UPDATES WILL APPEAR ON TOP The Boyanor Rebbe has arrived in Meron (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
