By Yechiel Sever
Peak readiness is in high gear on the part of security forces and Hatzolah workers as the yearly mass pilgrimage to the Rashbi gravesite in Meiron, which commenced Wednesday afternoon and continues until after Lag BaOmer. Over 4,600 policemen will be spread throughout the entire Meiron area and thousands of Ichud Hatzolah volunteers will be posted in special stations erected to provide emergency first aid to the visitors. The public will be praying for the intercession of R' Shimon bar Yochai and his son, R' Elazar, for the speedy and complete recuperation of Maran R' Yosef Shalom Eliashiv in particular, and for the yeshua of Klal Yisroel. A special public prayer will take place at 1:30 p.m. on Lag BaOmer in the compound of the cave for his recovery.
