#VALUE!
At the entrance to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai's tomb in Meron, the famous verse is inscribed: "For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of his seed." The ending letters of this verse spell out 'Yochai,' after Rabbi Shimon's father. This is a special verse meant to strengthen us during the hardships that will befall us in the end of days.
The full verse is presented in Parashat Vayeilech: "And when many evils and troubles have befallen them, then this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of his seed."
In this consoling verse, which is so relevant to our feelings following the horrific tragedy: "And when many evils and troubles have come upon him," is a code that speaks of the tragedy in Meron, which begins with this verse and ends with the word "widow."
As seen in the photo, on the words "Har Meron," there is, in the exact same skip sequence, a word of comfort to the grieving people: "Nachamu" (*Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God*).
In this code, the years 5711 and 5781 appear, which are the two years when horrifying tragedies occurred at Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai's tomb during the celebration, as well as the word: "deaths."
Interestingly, the number of those killed, 45, equals the gematria for the word "redemption."
Let us strengthen ourselves, that even when many evils befall us, everything is decreed from above, leading us to the great light, the complete redemption. We must strengthen our faith and Torah study to ensure it is not forgotten "out of the mouths of his seed."
