 We all heard about the national disaster that occurred on Lag

Ba’Omer in the tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai on Mount Meron in the Galilee. Yet, many of us do not know the place and do not understand what is its attraction and what is the meaning of that belief that causes hundreds of thousands of people all year long to reach Meron. It became the second largest religious tourist site in the Land of Israel (after the Western Wall).

Around the Hebrew calendar year, the movie ” Rashbi’s Secret “

 presents a poetic and intimate observation of this special place through a collection of authentic moments combined with the personal stories of a number of women who are bound to the place:

Shulamit and Chedva live in the compound and collect alms for their livelihood. Osnat who finds there solace in the long journey to find her soulmate. Smadar who prays for the recovery of her daughter from cancer. 17-year-old, Reut, relies on Rashbi as a true friend and Revital the stand-up comedian searches for true happiness.

?And especially in the character of Rashbi
