Rabbi Akiva was the greatest of the Talmudic sages & a leading proponent of Judean resistance to Roman rule. He served as the spiritual leader of the Bar Kokhba Revolt & still inspires generations with his revolutionary teachings.
Human history – like any great piece of literature – presents a story that is not only inspiring and dramatic on the surface but also allegorically rich with hidden meaning and deep moral lessons.
By plugging into the expanded consciousness of Yom Kippur through the proper thoughts, acts & tefillot prescribed for the day, we can receive & be transformed by the day’s unique Divine light.
The essence of the story is the total devotion each martyr had to spreading and protecting the Torah and for being lions in the struggle to free our country from Roman rule.
