Har Meron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Har Meron (Hebrew: הר מירון, or Mount Meron in English) is a mountain in Israel 1,208 meters/3,955 feet above sea level.
It is situated directly next to the Israeli village of Meron.
On the mount there is a very holy site to many Jews, especially Orthodox Jews, because it houses the tomb of Rabbi Simeon bar Yochai. On Lag B'Omer many Orthodox Jews come there to celebrate the anniversary of his death.
