In Eretz Yisroel, Lag B’omer is a yom tov celebrated by all. Unfortunately, for many orphans, coming to Meron was a dream far removed from reality.
At last, when Tov V’chesed first began its Meron services, their dreams were finally fulfilled.
This year was especially successful as it was the only place where food was available, being that food was prohibited closer to the tziyon.
The orphaned families found fresh food and kind words at the Meron center, and it served as a haven for the children who came to R’ Shimon Bar Yochai to pour out their hearts on their behalf and on behalf of those who make their crucial services possible.
