26 Sivan 5770
Today marks the passing of Yonatan ben Uzziel, a Tanna who lived 2000 years ago during the Second Temple era. His love for Torah was so great that he never married. As he studies, birds flying over his head were burnt up by the fiery intensity of his learning. He passed away at a young age, unmarried, but just before his death, he realized his mistake by never marrying, since he would have scended to even higher levels with a wife, becasue a wife brings completion. From then, a tradition developed that anyone seeking their soulmate would meet their intended within a year if they came to pray at his gravesite in Amuka, a deep valley near Tsfat. Today thousands are coming to his gravesite for this very purpose. There are a few hours left today and in fact, tomorrow is just as powerful. Many have seen miracles from this practice even on any day throughout the year.
