One time, a Jew from Eretz Yisrael was in Ruzhin, and was spoke with the famous Rebbe Yisrael Ruzhiner, zt”l, about Lag B’Omer in Meron.
The Rebbe asked, “So what do you see in Meron?”
The chossid answered, “Inside the cave it is Yom Kippur, and outside it is Simchas Torah!”
He meant that the heartfelt prayer near the grave itself has the sincerity and intensity of the teshuvah of Yom Kippur, and the enthusiastic and lebedike dancing outside has the joyous fervor of Simchas Torah.
The Rebbe took great pleasure from the man’s answer and said, “If so, one sees good! One sees Stollel!" [from a fire burns in breslov]
