early Lag B'Omer tonight

So, I am driving home tonight from my softball game on the main highway #1 when about 100 feet in front of me this car goes up in flames on the side of the road. Literally. The flames were like 10 feet high.

Traffic is stopped. The firetrucks show up and begin dousing the flames. The black smoke is filling the highway. Everyone is getting out of their cars to go get a closer look.

Some people in some cars near the front begin singing the traditional Lag B'Omer songs that are sung around the bonfires on Lag B'Omer night... They were taking advantage of the bonfire to practice their tunes...

Thank God everybody was ok and got out of the car before it burst into flames....

Eventually the fire was put out completely, the smoke cleared and traffic was allowed to continue...

  1. For sure that was an "Only in Eretz Yisrael" moment. Awesome!
