"There is a story about a family who had a six-month old baby girl paralyzed from the head down. After a few years, her father brought her here. For three days they placed her on the site and said Psalms. On the third day the girl began to move her hands and then her legs, and then started shouting, 'Dad, Dad.' Today, she still has problems in her legs and she is in a wheel chair, but with the help of God she will have ten children," said Farkash. Such stories could be heard through the night

Last night my first Lag B'Omer there. Incredible crowds, some davening, some saying Tehillim, dancing, pushing (not from animosity from from the sheer size of the masses). People were there serving food and drink (gratis--hospitality) endlessly. With the ceaseless jostling, I felt like I was eating a meal in the middle of a rugby scrum but I survived. Lubavitch, Breslov and who knows how many other chassidishe groups. Unique amongst the unique in this world.
