no fires

I just saw in the news that the National Fire and Rescue Authority has announced that due to the extreme weather conditions coming upon us it is prohibited to light bonfires and other fires in public areas from now through May 7. This applies in the entire country. This range of dates obviously includes Yom Haatzmaut.

I dont know if this is CYA or a real concern, but considering the recent wildfires just last week that burned down thousands of dunam of forest and fields, along with forcing the evacuation of the residents of several towns, it is probably better safe than sorry.

My guess is that before Lag BaOmer we'll get similar announcements, as we do pretty much every year.

    Predicted Chareidi response: We'll light fires if we want and we won't let Israel destroy the Torah!

    That chareidi knows what he's talking about. Seems they really want to get rid of Lag B'Omer.
    The tragedy of the 45 victims of a # of years ago and now perfect timing with these unnatural
    fires makes for a good excuse to ban Lag B'Omer. Anything associated with kedushat E.Y. and our Torah is what they're aiming to be rid of, c'v. It will all boomerang!
