This was sad story I saw on my international news wire this morning JERUSALEM, Israel – More than 40 people were killed and over 100 injured during a stampede Friday morning at a Jewish religious festival in northern Israel. The disaster took place at Mt. Meron in northern Galilee where thousands of mostly Ultra-Orthodox Jews gathered for a festival called Lag BaOmer. The festival honors Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, a 2nd-century sage and mystic who is buried there. It is unclear what caused the stampede at the popular event, but witnesses described watching people getting crushed.
