יום ל״ג לעומר ירבה שמחה לכבוד רשב״י זי״ע כי הוא יומא דהלולא דיליה. ונודע שרצונו הוא שישמחו ביום זה כידוע ממעשה מהר״א הלוי זלה״ה ומעשים אחרים אשר שמענו ונדעם מפום רבנן קדישי. ויש מי שנהג לעשות לימוד בליל ל״ג לעומר בי עשרה ללמוד שבחי רשב״י המפוזרים בזהר ואדרא זוטא והוא מנהג יפה:
One should add to the joy of the day of the thirty third of the Omer in honor of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, may his merit protect us - as it is the day of his memory (the day he died). And it is known that it was his will that [people] rejoice on this day - as is known from the story of our teacher, the Rabbi Avraham HaLevi (Amigo), may his memory be blessed for life in the world to come, and from other stories that we have heard. And we know them from the mouths of holy rabbis. And there is one who is accustomed to engaging in study on the night of the thirty third of the Omer with ten [men] to teach the praises of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochat that are scattered in the Zohar and the Idra Zuta; and that is a nice custom.
