On Tuesday — Erev Rosh Chodesh Tammuz — I wished to be then in Meiron. And I had in mind to travel there on Monday — and to sleep there. And there were obstacles for us about this. And also on Tuesday morning there were several obstacles. But Hashem Blessed be He helped me — and I broke through the obstacles with Hashem's help. And I traveled to Meiron — I and my companion Rabbi Yehuda Eliezer — and Rabbi Aharon of Grodik joined us on the way. And another man whom we hired to go with us. And also on the walk to Meiron — I was at the grave of Rabbi Yosei of Yukrat. And we came to Meiron close to midday. And we entered the awesome study hall of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and his son Rabbi Elazar. And we said there Psalms and supplications and requests at their awesome graves. But I was then very weak. And I did not merit to pour out my heart there as I wished. From there we went. And we were at the grave of the Tanna Rabbi Yochanan the Sandal-Maker. And near him there was his pit — where he used to tan hides. And at the grave of Rabbi Yochanan mentioned above — Hashem Blessed be He helped me — and I became somewhat more aroused.
