Erev Lag B'Omer
Erev Lag B'Omer is tomorrow, May 4th, Monday. Here is a Dry Bones Cartoon from 2016, posted by Sali.
This year, the celebrations have been very much toned down because of the war. It is forbidden to have but a very small number of people at Mt. Meron, the traditional site in the north, because of the security situation. Also, there is a danger of forest fires, and somehow, bonfires, and fires, in general, don't seem like such a good idea while we have been subjected to explosions from missiles and the war, But, in years past, the children had fun with it. I think maybe we are getting more mature and seeing the dangers. But I like the statement that this cartoon makes.
